Panel Help
My cousin just bought a beautiful panel from Timeless Treasure's Wing and a Prayer collection. She is a beginning sewer, never made a quilt before. She asked for help from me, which I am glad to give, but the blocks in the panel are 19"x18" and 20"x17". Any suggestions for a pattern or how to help her?

Here is the collection.

Not a good photo of the panel. I would just sash around the blocks in her favorite color and add a floral border. Keep it simple so she can participate in the sewing of this quilt. Good Luck.

I agree 100% with ManiacQuilter2. If she's just a beginner, she can learn a lot from sewing on borders without experiencing too much frustration. She'll learn how to measure to borders, how to cut fabric strips, how to pin the borders to the panel, how to sew them on with a consistent 1/4" seam, how to press, etc. The panel itself should yield a rich conversation about quilting options (how? where? how far apart? color of thread?), and the border(s) will add to that. She'll get a good lesson in binding the quilt, too! PERFECT beginner project, imho.
