Christmas panel suggestions
 

Bought this Christmas panel.....have not made a quilt with a panel.....on my list of quilts to make....have these fabrics on hand.....suggestions for a border or maybe something else in fabric choices!

One thing I would do is use a few solid or small prints that read as solids between the larger prints. A small 1 inch border that would measure out as 1/2 inch helps to give a framed effect.

I agree with this and would probably go with a darker color

IMO the fabric at the bottom right doesn't look right. The other two might work - as second border. I agree with the above comments that you need a small solid border. Maybe red for the grey fabric or use the grey fabric for a small border with the red/black as main border? Take a picture of both options (or any other). That usually helps me to decide on borders!

First place I would look is at the fabric manufacturer's website. usually they have patterns for using their panels. If not, I go looking at images found in Google:

Nice choice of fabrics to go with the panel.

Thanks for the suggestions....I definitely will do a solid border & loved the panels on Google for getting ideas!

These are all lovely colors - I would personally add some solid fabrics, to compliment the patterns in the choices.

I would do a rail fence border. Easy. Putting the dark between the 2 lights, plus you could rotate them so you, no
seams to match.

I agree with Quilting Candy , you need a solid for a narrow border around panel and then go from there.

Love all your fabrics, my only concern is that the large black and red print might overwhelm the delicacy of your panel and other prints. The colors are great, it's just the size of that print that worries me. Maybe if used in a very narrow border..... I just don't know, would have to play around with it.

That is such a nice panel and if you break up the borders with solids, it will be striking. Just be sure that your panel is cut straight before you start. Sometimes they get kind of wonky as they go through the dye repeatedly

I like the black and red ornaments with the panel. I'd use it generously!
