I am watching a Fons/Porter program right now and it happens to be on Preprinted panels. She says that the panels ahve been around since the civil war era. They ladies would just add their own embellishments. So I am not sure why you daughter would have said what she did but now you have information as to the history on preprinted panels. The one she is working on is from the international quilt show. Very cool I have to say!
