Some of the first quilts I did when getting back into quilting were panel quilts. I didn't use much imagination, just took a number of panels the width of the material by the number of panels to make up the length I wanted, added a back (quilts were width of material wide), and tied them.
They are all still in use, and made great quick gifts.
I have a number of panels still in my stash and was looking for other ways to use them. Thanks for this thread! It's given me a bunch of ideas to use to clear up that part of my stash!
