It would be neat to frame each one with a white border and black frame and hang them in a spare bedroom or your sewing room. Love them!

I love them! I think that I would paint them very lightly (like watercolors). I know that sounds like a lot of work but how beautiful would that be. I love the prints. Wish they were still available today. Thanks for sharing.

The panels are priceless. Be glad to see what you decide to do with them.

You are so lucky! Those panels just scream for some red-maybe a small frame around them.

I might be tempted to color some of those panels with fabric paint, crayons, etc. It would be fun.

They are so cute in Black & White why would you color them?
They just need sashing and a cute border IMHO.

I found a few small bags of fabric and large bag of patterns. I still have to go through it all and figure out some of the patterns, but I am loving this one panel. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I will most definatly use it in a quilt. I got all of it for $9.50. Could not believe it!
Anyone have ideas for a quilt pattern for these panels?

I'd be buying frames and hanging pictures!
