    Default What to do...

    I got this gorgeous panel at the LQS; actually I loved it so much I bought 2 of them. Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with it...

    I'm thinking I'll probably cut the individual sections apart and piece them into a throw or bed quilt top this spring. I'd love to hear your suggestions!

    It would make a beautiful wall hanging also. You do not need to do much to it, pretty all on it's own.

    Don't feel like you have to cut it apart and put it back together. It would also be gorgeous just how it is with a few borders. I can't wait to see what you do!

    Lovely just as it is, add borders and use it as a lap or wall hanging.

    Gorgeous panel. Love it just like it is. I agree, add borders and do a wall hanging or a beautiful lap quilt.

    I love the idea of cutting it up and creating windows (attic window pattern) with the panels. I think it would look like you are looking out a window while it is on your lap or wherever you end up putting it.

    Just beautiful, I probably couldn't have passed that up either! They're so pretty, you don't have to do much to accentuate their beauty. Show us the end result please

    I have to agree with the above. It is so beautiful as it is. I would add borders to match some of the floral colors, and make the outside border black. Soooo pretty!
