What to do with this panel?
 

I recently purchased these two panels. One is for my BFF and one for me. I also ordered two yards of the companion fabric, one brown with beige print and the other beige with brown. I dont have that yet so I cant show you. My thought was to put the larger one in the center and the smaller ones in each corner. What do I put in between? Squares of fabric. I never worked with a panel before. Not sure what to do. Anything you can offer would be much appreciated.[ATTACH=CONFIG]359110[/ATTACH]

I don't have any ideas but the panel is just darling.

Very cute. I would cut them apart, leaving a 1/4" all round and either put sashings between or a color to match one in the picture. Put at least a small boreder to frame it or borders to make it larger.

That's just too cute.

Not sure if you've already checked out these http://www.ehow.com/how_5901038_desi...ng-panels.html

I'm with you there! I don't have any brilliant ideas but I sure do love these panels! I can't wait to see what you do with them!

I like your idea of a the larger in the center and the smaller in the corners. Frame out the center, finishing that "row" with solid blocks. Then use a solid block to set the two corners together??? Very cute pics. Your BFF will love it

Try searching images in your favorite search engine (google etc...) I typed in Panel quilts and several images came up giving me several ideas.

This is a photo of the first panel quilt i ever made. Even though I didn't have a large panel, you could do something similiar setting the large block off to one side, then making a column or row of the others offset. Super cute panel you have - mind me asking the fabric/manufacturer details? Thanks :-)

I have a few similar panels and my plan is to make coffee / tea sets. Four mug rugs and a kind of a placemat to put cookies and cream on. They make wonderful gifts.

The fabric is BFF by Tracy Lizotte for Elizabeth's Studio. The single panel was only 6.50. Several of the online companies carry it but I had to order the companion fabric from Arizona Quilts and Fabric Depot. Thanks for all your suggestions.

casn al;so use on bags from logos you dont like on bags

Instead of using plain filler blocks, I would use some 9-patch blocks in similar fabric colors and then sash all the blocks in a slightly darker color.

I've always liked the 'Sidelights' pattern (http://www.robertkaufman.com/quiltin...ns/sidelights/) for showing off fabulous fabric.

Maybe pull out some quiet blenders to serve as background or alternate with the smaller blocks. Looks like you might be able to use some of the dotted background of the panel as sashing or make into four-patches to fill in?

Love the panel!

I was looking at fairy panels for my DGDD and came across this quilt. Just love the layout. You might try googling fairy quilts and see what comes up. I'm suggesting this search because this Michael Miller fabric line has large panels and smaller panels plus the coordinating fabrics.

Look at a pattern called Sidelights - Amazon probably has it. I think this might be perfect for that pattern. By the way, I love the panel/pics.

9-Patch Pizzazz by Judy Sisneros has some nice ideas for panels. You can see the book on Amazon.

How about something like this?
 

How about this I found on their site?

Here's a panel quilt that I made not too long ago. Maybe it will give you some ideas. If you need the name of the pattern, PM me and I will go and find it. Good luck!

Love this quilt! Also I think that the Sidelights pattern would work and I have loved that pattern ever since I first saw it. Your center block is not big enough for that design but you could add to it to make it larger. What a cute panel you found for you and your friend. I might need to do something like this for my friend also.

Attic Window!!!!

Take your panel to the fabric store and buy a few coordinating colors, solids or ToT, and make 9 patch blocks any other block you like in a coordinating size. Pinwheels would like nice too. Measure the pictures in your panel and find a number that will go evenly into that measurement (9 and 18 divided by 3 or 10 and 18 divided by 2) then make coordinating blocks in that size.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm talking down. Just trying to make my idea clear.

Love your panels.

same here-no ideas but looking forward to seeing what you do

really cute panels!! I love to work with panels!!

I would embellish the rain with either little white/clear small crafting beads or DMC thread that is shiny. Maybe make the dresses 3 dimensional. They could be cut apart and still embellished.

Your panel is beautiful!! And thank you everyone for posting these great idea's to use for panels.

Just a word of caution - if you take your panel into the store, make sure they know it's yours so they won't try to make you pay for it. Sometimes, if they are not busy, they will enjoy helping you find fabrics to match.

Love, love, love those pictures. I just finished a quilt for my grandson. It was a panel of dinosaurs. He loves dinosaurs. I just added sashing overall and then finished it.

Panel is adorable!!!! Love it.

i have attached two halloween panel quits i made for grand kids. I took the easy way, did not cut the panel apart.

send it to me? lol It is very cute

Wow Ruth, I never saw this. I did order one panel of the smaller pictures, and the lighter and darker dot and flower prints. I think I can do something similar to this with what I have. Thanks so much.

very nice just the same

Where did you find this panel??? Love it.

Maybe sew some strips onto the larger picture (log cabin style) to enlarge it some, then alternate the smaller pics with star blocks, or something appliqued-maybe hearts. You could also use a pretty blender fabric to sash it, then use a lighter blender or tone on tone for the alternating blocks with the little pics. A pretty quilting design would be pretty in the light blocks.

Hancocks of Paduka has the panel and all of the companion fabrics. I just ordered what I dont have to finish this up just like the picture Ruth posted. I cant wait to do this project. I want to thank everyone who took the time to look and comment. I love this board and all its members!!!

When I look at the pictures, what about a simple 4 patch square between or half square triangle triangles in matching colors to the panel between those pictures? Make a couple and put it next to the panels and see what appeals to you.

I would probably leave it as is, put some colorful flying geese in the bare spots. In the center would do two rows facing opposite directions, then put a border around the whole piece and quilt each picture separately to outline it and make it stand out from the rest of the panel.

Love you use of the smaller panel pieces.

The panel is beautiful, you could cut apart, if the blocks are different sizes - lay out on graph paper and add frames around some of the blocks and add additional fabric and different sized blocks to fill in the gaps. I will try and post a picture if I can figure it out ,of one that I did with different sized blocks.
