Wow Ruth, I never saw this. I did order one panel of the smaller pictures, and the lighter and darker dot and flower prints. I think I can do something similar to this with what I have. Thanks so much.

Maybe sew some strips onto the larger picture (log cabin style) to enlarge it some, then alternate the smaller pics with star blocks, or something appliqued-maybe hearts. You could also use a pretty blender fabric to sash it, then use a lighter blender or tone on tone for the alternating blocks with the little pics. A pretty quilting design would be pretty in the light blocks.

When I look at the pictures, what about a simple 4 patch square between or half square triangle triangles in matching colors to the panel between those pictures? Make a couple and put it next to the panels and see what appeals to you.

I would probably leave it as is, put some colorful flying geese in the bare spots. In the center would do two rows facing opposite directions, then put a border around the whole piece and quilt each picture separately to outline it and make it stand out from the rest of the panel.

This is a photo of the first panel quilt i ever made. Even though I didn't have a large panel, you could do something similiar setting the large block off to one side, then making a column or row of the others offset. Super cute panel you have - mind me asking the fabric/manufacturer details? Thanks :-)

Panel Quilt
The panel is beautiful, you could cut apart, if the blocks are different sizes - lay out on graph paper and add frames around some of the blocks and add additional fabric and different sized blocks to fill in the gaps. I will try and post a picture if I can figure it out ,of one that I did with different sized blocks.
