I'm sorry, I should have given more detail on this one but I was just so excited I finally finished it! This isn't a panel. It is all machine embroidery. Each sqaure was machine embroideried then sewn together just like a quilt. Then you put the window pane on to make it look like you are looking out a window & then add the borders. The borders dealt me the biggest fit since it was done with metallic threads. But after 3 attempts I finally got it good enough to use. Then I got the idea to use red & white striped fabric for the binding like 'candy canes"
