I have to make a lap quilt for a 290 lb man. Found these in my stash and need some ideas. The panel is 45" x 35 1/2", 3 yds of blue and 2 yd of ocean fabric. I am not using batting. I want to use a flannel backing.

I would probably do a border of the dark blue then the ocean fabric. If you have any of the purple color of fabric that would look good too. Look forward to seeing it finished. :thumbup:

What a great idea, you knew that panel would come in handy some day.

Don't have any purple. How wide can a boder be? Want to add a 9" hand embroidery block on one of the corners.

Have you seen the ones made to look like windows.
You cut the panel apart about 1/4 on each side and top & bottom, and then sew back together with sashing in the attic windows technique.

Got the green (Hobby Lobby) and the purple (Hancock)today. What order should I use and what width for the border.
