Evelyn, This is so pretty. Great job after 20 years!

Cathy, Who made that panel you used?

Sylvia, sorry but I don't know. I just found it in a fabric store like a QS, Joanne or even maybe Walmart.

My DH says he'll help me with photos on his day off this week so then I can show you the wallhanging I made. I'll put it on this thread since it's a demonstration of using panels.

I love panels, especially the Oriental. Here are two of my favorite

Here's one I did. My guy LOVES ww2 planes and he got enthusiastic about my quilting (for probably the first time) when he saw the panel in a quilt shop. In retrospect I probably should have cut the apart into four blocks. Anyway, I added the blocks with the pieced planes (from the Victory Quilts book) and the ribbon borders on two sides to help with the proportions. And the corner blocks (yellow/red checkerboard) match some of the symbols that are in the original panel.

Here it is, ready to go to the LAQ.

I can't say that working with a panel was my favorite thing, but I do like some of the ones others have posted.

I have seen many and they always seem to be adorable.

Wonderful use of panels! I can hardly wait to see a picture of the wallhanging mentioned. You all do such a wonderful job. I'll have to try some of your ideas, and start cutting the panels before I put them in quilts. :thumbup:

Great ideas, thank you.

I love the arrangement of your quilt, the border is wonderful!

h carpanini, your panel is beautiful and I love how you put it all together.
