I have only made 2 quilts using panels and I spent way too much time designing pieced borders and designs around the panels. I'll get better over time but I need to do more. Would have loved to see those in the show. Bet they were amazing. I quit using batiks for a few reasons but mostly the bleeding of dye and stiffness of cotton. I may go back to them in time since a I have some precuts but they aren't my first choice. Glad you enjoyed yourself!!
