Panel quilts
I wish we had a topic just for panel quilts.
It would be good for us to be able to see sets of panel quilts without having to go thru months of other photos. I just saw some new sets today, and wish i had others to compare them to.

Panel quilts are tricky. At least to me they are. I will pick them up thinking it will be so easy then spend hours trying to figure out something to go with it. I head to pintrest for inspiration. Thanks for mentioning the Gallery. I have never thought of that. A panel quilt that I have been wanting to try was an idea that I read (probably here). You take 3 panels and cut up two to make other blocks. Guaranteed to work together.

Made a chenille baby quilt once using 3 panels. Can't remember exactly how but I remember having to layer the panels matching exactly. Then quilted in straight lines and used a chenille tool to cut through all layers except the bottom one. I came out really cute. Now I wish I had written down the directions.

I agree with Toverly... but I have only done a few baby quilts with panels so now when I purchase a panel, I also look for corresponding fabric at the same time. Often, the manufacturer will have other fabrics in the collection which makes it easy to add borders and a corresponding backing.
