It is so cute and adorable and panels are not cheating. You are still quilting them & binding them. I have one that was a panel and I took it apart sewed it back together in my own way and hand quilted it. No one knows this except for the others who I ordered the same fabric for at the same time. I got mine done & hanging in my family room, they did not even do anything with there's yet and it has been several years.
