Welcome back to Washington, it's fun to travel but there's just no place like home.
It's been interesting seeing the OBW/panel option.
I am rather panel challenged... usually all I do is use them as one side of a baby quilt. I recently got a nice one with deer in it that I'm thinking of doing the bowed window treatment and turning it to a twin or queen sized. Maybe applique a cat looking at the deer, I don't do much applique but that would be a good place to do it.
I have another one I just got at the thrift store, a really cool realistic ocean scene with a sea turtle and clown fish and it happens that I have a great piece with sea turtles on it, as well as clown fish and realistic rocks like around the edges of the print. Recently here on the board I saw something that I think will work for the back but I need to measure my top and work with some grid paper. I don't have anything prepared for quilting group today so maybe I will bring my pad and doodle.
Picture here, I would just do one half. Separating large panels of the sea turtle and clown fish with my slightly-more-teal-than-olfa-green bolt of fabric, would also frame the focus fabrics with the solid to make it easier to layer for quilting.
