Hello Beachbound!! That quilt picture is beautiful - did you make it?

No problem about the panel - you could just send it to me, and I'd make my 2-year-old granddaughter a new quilt! <G> Lovely fabrics - I know you won't have any trouble deciding what to do with them.

Thank you Ada! Yes, I did! It's on our bed, it only took me 10 years to make a bed quilt for my own bed.

I think the Moda Bistro collection would make a great apron and pot holders.

You can check out this Wilmington site for table topper, table runner, etc. using their coffee fabrics line. Cute stuff. http://wilmingtonprints.com/PImages/Pdf_97.pdf

Izy-Beautiful!

Sorry ladies, but she needs to send the panel my way.

As for the bistro fabrics, I like the idea of aprons, hotpads, etc. for your kitchen or Marsye's. Izy's quilt is beautiful tho.

I would totally agree that it looks like a finished project except for a couple borders and the quilting. LOVE THIS PANEL!!

I think place mats and napkins to match, or amybe an apron and matching hot pads.

While you have your thinking caps on, how about this panel? Any ideas?

For the panel I would cut the sections apart and add pieced quilt blocks (log cabin is my favorite for panels) made from coordinating fabrics.

I found it in a fabulous quilt shop in Fl but Favorite Fabrics (a QB regular) also has it in her store. I wonder if I can get a discount for sending folks her way! :lol: Seriously her prices were better than what I paid & I think I might be doing some shopping with her myself.

I would put the brown/blue circles with the latte cloth for place mats or table topper. The Modern fabric would go with the panels. cut apart and worked together in wall-hanging or doll quilts. The traveling browns would make great totes.

For the fabric, you might want to consider using the "Turning Twenty" pattern. It is easy and beautiful. The fabrics you chose are beautifully coordinated.

I love your panel, it is precious. I love the brown and blues together, you could make a stepping stone type quilt, the one with one large rectangle and two diffrent size squares to make one block. God bless. Penny

Yes you all did! The fabric just wouldn't let me make anything except placemats from it. Every time I thought of something different it just yelled "No Way!" So today I cut out 10 placemats~ 6 for myself & 4 for my DIL. That used up almost all of it but a yard of the stained glass. I'll make a few pads for a hot dish too. Thanks for your input!!

:P
