Thanks so much Jackie! This quilt turned out even better than I imagined!
Every scrap of fabric in this quilt is from Ruby Star Society, and the soft pink gingham is from (*I believe*) the Food Group line (which is now out of print). Hope that helps!

Perfection! I always love the neon and bright colors in quilts. Those colors make me feel happy just looking at them. Your pieced backing worked so well for this scrappy quilt. I do the same, have a stash of 5 yard cuts for backings but I make a lot of pieces scrappy backings to use up my quilt top leftovers. Can you PLEASE tell me the manufacturer and line of the bright pink gingham? It’s stunning. Thank you,

Hi Tonni,
Thanks so much for the kind comments about this quilt – it’s definitely a favourite of mine!
As for the pantograph, I just sized it so it felt right with my IQ system. I don’t think I’ve ever looked at a designer’s recommended height suggestions. 🀷

I love the whimsy of the designs and though I’m not a scrappy quilt lover, I love this one. In my head, I was thinking of fussy cutting so many squares of my scrap material before you cleverly said that you used a special fabric that already had the centers lol. I definitely have this quilt now in my project book with fussy cut centers! Thank you for the detailed instructions πŸ™‚

The colors, the fun centers and all your detailed progress notes and pictures are very inspiring. The Honey Honey panto is so cute. I also have this panto but haven't used it yet other than a few small test pieces. Did you use the recommended height or size it differently in IQ for your quilt? Bravo!

Thanks so much for the kind comments! I say this about all my projects, but this might be my favourite quilt I’ve ever made. And I support you finishing your certified-antique quilt! πŸ˜†
