I worked harder keeping the panel from getting wonky than I did on his other "real" quilts! Kinda hoping he likes it just cause his tomater is on it. do any of you feel it is crappy to use a panel? I used the world on the back so when he is older, or now, he can look at the map and know his dad Army-deployed, is There.
I did two of the "Cars" Quilt for my DGS, and I love to use panels for quilts, specially if I can find a cute pattern with blocks to go with. Will post pictures. The pattern was from a Fon's and Porter magazine, about 2006 or 2007. Also made pillowcases to go with their quilts, and to use for storage later on.
