I never bought from her as the last thing I needed was something new to collect. :roll:

But I've always loved the way people have incorporated them into crazy quilts.

Panel is sort of a strange term to use - I always think of that as relatively large. These are actually quite small - photo size (3"x5" to 5"x8").

Hmmm, maybe I'll pick up one or two. But that's it. ;-)
