Hi..I have been reading and now I need help. I am new to quilting ,but have been sewing off and on all my life. I purchased a Christmas panel and not sure how to quilt. I am attaching couple of pics. Thank you for any suggestions.

I would out line the different objects in the panel. On the borders if you add them, quilt maybe stars?

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!!!

I think outlining some of the items on the panel would look great. As well as some of the stars or even quilt in a little bit bigger stars for the background.

Welcome from Michigan.:) On panels, I usually just outline the items in the panel.

Hello and welcome from Minnesota!
Your panel will look great with some outlining.
It will make a great quilt or wall hanging!
Have fun with it!

What a fun panel! I agree with outlining the objects in the panel but you could also add more interest by adding texture quilting in the horses mane and the clapboards of the dollhouse etc. Just let your mind go free and add whatever you feel like, just make sure you quilt at least as closely as the instructions of the batting you are using say to quilt. Welcome to the Board from Nebraska!

Welcome from N. California coast. I'd outline some or all of the packages & do stippling on the tree.

Hi from Western Australia! Hope you post the finished item. Its a gorgeous panel!

Hello Margaret and Welcome. I think if it was mine I would outline the boxes and the star and maybe do a 5 point star design in the background, Just randomly placed. You can also add more if it suits you later. Good Luck.
