panels
 

I've been spinning my wheels this afternoon, looking for online shops that feature/specialize in panels.
I've seen show booths with nothing but, but I wasn't looking then :)

whatever I find I need seven of them for a one block wonder project, 6 to cut up, one for the center.
I know we have some shop till you drop members here who can point me in the right direction :)
thanks, Sharyn

I am never specifically on the hunt for panels, I just seem to stumble on ones I like when shop hopping. What seems to be really popular right now are the digital print panels by Hoffman. Maybe this will get you started: https://www.hancocks-paducah.com/search?keywords=panel

Here are 5 pages of them.

A few more just in case.

This should keep you busy for a little while. Hope you find the perfect one. Good luck!

Not sure what type panel you are looking for. I just Googled "Quilting Fabric Panels" and lots of sites came up. You may want to try that. Hancocks and MSQC both came up. Good Luck.

Equilter often has free patterns featuring panels. They currently have about 190 panels coming up on search.

edit: And they are divided into subsections so you can help narrow down the field.

Quilted Twins has a lot of panels, most reasonably priced.

you guys are a treasure, thank you so much!

Look at Chong-a-whang who designs for Timeless Treasures. Most of her stuff is very bright, but gorgeous. It seems like her panels would be perfect for what you are doing.

Another vote for Quilted Twins. Hancock's of Padukah has a lot, too, but Quilted Twins has good prices.

Beverly's on the internet, they have the most beautiful panels for children and house and the price are not too bad!

Correction..... 4my3boyz.com. Free shipping over $35

Another shout out for Quilted Twins. They recently had a shipment of panels. And their delivery is surprisingly fast.!

I love the Old Country Store in Intercourse, PA.(See link) I realize you are in Washington State but it gives you an idea of what's out there.
Also in PA I love Weavers Dry Goods-most panels I've ever seen in one spot.

I've never made a OBW but I'd like to some day, so do you mind if I ask why you're using panels instead of fabric?

Check on e bay and etsy for them too.

Spoonflower has a ton.

It's a current trend in OBW's. You use 6 of the panels for the hexagons and then arrange them around the 7th panel. I've seen a lot of really beautiful ones. Here's a link to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

SuziSew, thank you for the eye candy! What a great blog that is. And that retreat center in Vermont looks amazing....

I found a place that has wildlife panels, https://www.send-it-home.com/quilt-shop.htm. This is a nice place to shop if you are in the West Yellowstone area.

I was in that shop two years ago sue, am two weeks past it on this years journey ;)
Thank you again ladies for the suggestions, I have two bookmarked to think on. I make such big complicated quilts I thought this winter I might try my hand at something simpler or at least a lot smaller. I have made a full size one block wonder about 10 years ago, and thought the panel idea was brilliant when I ran across it this spring.

Thank you Suzi for posting the link to samples, we are on the road for three months so I'm just in and out here. We are in Cortez Colorado this afternoon. We live in such a beautiful country.

update on my post of 6 weeks ago, finally home again home again jiggy jig!

I found what I wanted at Eleanor Burn's shop https://www.quiltinaday.com/shoponli...&fabric_style=

looking forward to working on my project this winter, and it was fun to buy some fabric, I went on the wagon in 2001

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.

One of my favorite places to go when I need panels or novelty type fabrics is Bug fabrics - They have many pages - some of which might be appropriate for your project!

So while we are on the topic of panels, anyone have any opinions on the 36x45" panels -- is that good enough for a crib/baby quilt or should I add borders.

I really like the fish fabrics, they are working together!

​ ​Standard Quilt Sizes
Baby ​ 30" x 40" (very approximate)
Crib/Toddler 45" x 60" 36" x 52"

had to look it up, It has been a Long time since my friends were making babies :)
