I especially like the for children's quilts. Children like to roll around on a quilt and it gets quite a bit of abuse. I can take that a whole lot better if I've just sewn borders around a panel, than if I've pieced a quilt.

I just took a FMQ class and the instructor said that panels were a good, inexpensive way to practice our Free Motion. You can donate those quilts, (if you don't want to keep them) to all kinds of charities from neo-natal to nursing homes.

I often choose cute panels for baby quilts. I like to hand quilt them and take them with me when I fly or travel. I purchased an oval wooden frame that fits comfortably in my carry on bag. It's very relaxing to do on long flights. I also carry a little plastic container with extra needles, quilting thread and a nail clipper to use as a thread cutter. No problems getting it through security.

This is the panel lap quilt that I did for a friend.

Loved doing this one. The quilting does not show in the picture, but each tree and animal was outline quilted and the grassy area I thread painted.
It was fun to do.
