I have learned so much about doing quilts with panels by doing this thread. I have seen some beautiful quilts and I thank you all.

I think your log cabins around this quilt are stunning!! I have some pheasant panels, am thinking I may need to borrow this idea!! Great job!

I really like working around a panel. I made this table runner and hand quilted it.

I was at our fair the other day, and a very nice lady had quilted nothing but panels (not much quilting either and not overly fancy). I was shocked at the prices (but good for her), a panel that I purchased for myself at the LQS for $7.95, she was selling for $27 Granted it was sewn with backing and lightly sid quilted but no borders and no binding. I was amazed. Some people were even buying. I just never thought of doing something so simplistic with those beautiful panels. I think I tend to over complicate things.

I don't think of it as cheating, it is just another art form of quilts. I did one for a child because I wanted it to be used and washed. If it gets messed up, it is OK, I will make her another one. I have one I did a lot of applique on and I will give it to her when is a bit older. Still the quilts you spend a lot of money and time one are really for heirloom things to be kept and handed down. So ya hoo for panels!!!!!!

I have made a few for casa with panels, they do go together quickly...

I'm glad people are still adding to this thread. I have over 50 panels and want to make them into quilts that are more than just quilted panels with a border. I want to maketwin to king size out of them.

I saw these pillow panels and decided it would be the perfect Christmas present for my brother. I'm just making it up as I go. Hopefully I'll have something figured out before Christmas. :lol:

First attempt at using a panel to make quilt
