Wow! This is a great quilt! I love what you did and how creative you are! Great job!

Sallyjane 05-17-2013 09:45 AM

What a great idea! It will be fun for the kids to try to find where in the main panel that the little pieces came from that make up the outer 4 patches.

Excellent plan. You have inspired many of us. You've done such a good job, I would like a short tutorial.

Great job. It is awesome. You have inspired me to try this someday.

That is SIMPLY AWESOME!! I'm doing a 4 patch posey using a floral fabric, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your idea. Thanks for sharing.

LOVE this! Perfect for little ones...and fun to try to find what part of the animal went into the blocks.

As I was leaving the retreat, with quilt store attached, I saw this adorable Zoo Panel and thought, 'Why not just stack 4 panels on top of one another and use that instead of yardage?!' I bought 5 panels so I could use one as the center focus. The hardest part was figuring the size to cut the blocks. I used flannel for front and back and used 2 layers of Quilter's Dream Select. Since my DSM throat is only 6 1/2" I had to use a quilt-as-you-go method. I outline quilted all the animals on the panel first, then measured to determine my border sizes. I ended up cutting my 6 1/2" blocks, down to 6" [ATTACH=CONFIG]413816[/ATTACH] so that everything would come out even. It should give the kiddos LOTS to look at : )

What a Great Idea!! I love it. Good Job.

Just so cute. I used panels once to make a stack n whack. Turned out pretty good, but yours is so interesting. Love figuring out what part of the panels made the blocks.

tessagin 05-18-2013 07:02 AM

They will be so busy, they will get worn out and they will fall asleep! Brilliant idea!

wendiq 05-18-2013 07:24 AM

Confused here.....did you use "5" panels for "1" quilt?

Marguerite 05-18-2013 07:29 AM

That is absolutely adorable. I love it. The border is fantastic. I was really intruged by it and then I read how you did. Great job.

Did you quilt each of the 4 panels separately before cutting into squares? Your quilt is amazing!

Monroe 05-18-2013 09:25 PM

Your quilt is simply wonderful! I never thought about using panels for the 4 patch posy. I bought the pattern several years ago, but felt it was poorly written and never tried it. Some ladies in my Guild had the pattern, figured it out and have made several. My sister took the pattern to a retreat and made a lovely one, and now I have the pattern back. Maybe I'll finally make one.
