Lake and Sea Panels
I loved the idea of stacking 8 panels for a kaleidoscope quilt, so when I spotted this panel, I ordered 9. I don't usually buy flowers, and didn't realize how prevalent they would be. I put the 9th panel on the back-loved that idea! And the "bindings" thread inspired my binding of sewing the scraps together. I will be doing that again! My new FMQ skills are coming along. I used marker to make the stitch lines; spirals on the circle blocks, and curls on the square blocks. I was so nervous to start the quilting, but once I did, it went smoothly. About halfway through, I realized in a panic that I hadn't even checked the backside! No worries!

I'm wondering how you got all the lovely blue in your quilt top. It's not part of the panel that I can tell. But I love it in the quilt top! I've only done these with yardage but you have inspired me to look at panels in a new light.
