Panels come in so many beautiful prints. Or such cute ones for babies. I have done many baby quilts from panels and I, too, feel like I have "cheated," but need to get over that. Everyone who has received one has loved it and they don't realize what time you've saved. Such a variety and such pretty designs. I have made a wall hanging for every season for myself from a panel. Also, I don't enjoy applique, so would never be able to accomplish such pretty designs on my own. Do it!
