I'm sure the panel will be fine to use. Just make certain the final dimensions are the same as they recommend and you put quite a bit of quilting on it.

I see no reason you couldn't use the panels. It would make a darling quilt. I love those monsters.

I could cut them apart and add coordinating fabric, but it is printed to look sashed with bright colors. I just don't want to do anything wrong. Got the top pieced from the fabric they send. So am planning one from fabric I have (bought this yesterday, so I have it now 8-) ) It has such a nice hand, is cotton, but is so silky.

Even a young baby would love this quilt panel just as it is....quilted! A baby's eyes see the black and white or a bright contrast first. They are drawn to bright colors. I would quilt over the panel, leaving it all set up, as is. Why not? It is adorable.

Phyl,

Thanks, I may have to do a little work to make it fit their size requirements as it is about 44" wide, but I think I will definitely use it. Then the border print, I was thinking of using as a border on a different quilt with a center of some simple blocks in a coordinating color, or maybe a few monster blocks, a coordinating fabric and then the border. Guess I will be planning this as I go to sleep for several nights...uh...am I seriously addicted or do the rest of you plan quilts as you go to bed? ;-)
