I'm so envious! That is a wonderful panel!!!!
|
AWESOME!!!
|
I would use black & white with panels to make quilt front, perhaps attic windows.
For the back I would make the blocks shown in the panels & have a reversible quilt. |
Great find!
|
The first thing that came to mind is to find matching picture frames and hang them on the wall in the formation you showed - they'd make a great decoration for your quilting room!
(Being a painter, I might try to 'enhance' them with a bit of fabric paint as well) |
Very nice panels. I would build around them with nice patches, squares and other blocks. I love working with panels. Cut them apart and re position among the "other" blocks that you make. Maybe something scrappy.

I used to have some of those panels and they were when the liquid embroidery pens were in "vogue". Can't quite remember the name but they used to host parties & sell them in tubes with a thick ballpoint type of nib.
Have fun with your new toys. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chanadaal/339917699/ |
What a great panel. I've never seen anything like that. Will make a wonderful quilt.
|
My thoughts exactly - black and white/cream and making blocks that are shown in the quilts.

Those panels are awesome. I can see them worked up w/white, black and red fabrics...wow!

The best idea I can come up with is to just ease your mind and send the panels to me. :lol:
You have come up with an wonderful find and bargain! Just in case you do get a wild hair to sell the panels, let me know ( PM me) I would give you more than a fair price for them!!!!!! :thumbup: A girl can dream. |
I found those same panels at a thrift store a month ago and already have some of them at home, think I will make an attic windows with them maybe. Nice find though.
|
Ooh girl I'm loving those panels too! Ia there any selvage info?

|

Oh my goodness, I have these same panels and have been wondering the same as you. I've had them for quite some time, tucked away not knowing what to do with them. I love them.
|

I have not read every page here, but
I would find out how old this panel is and what company made them.......If they are antique you may want to handle them differently. They are so cute. |
I know what you could do...sell them to me...I love the panels.
|
Absolutely a wonderful find! A quilt made from them is going to be quite a treasure. I would stick to muslin or beige to off white sashing and backing, maybe the binding in black.. I so love those blocks!
|
Great find!!!

I had to do these on my scanner so the one with the binding was too large to get it all scanned. The binding does show on both sides though.

I hope mine turn out just as great whenever I get around to doing something with them. Bobbi Bobbi I tied a hanger of a white and a black ribbon on the corners.

WOW What a great find. Love the prints.Looking forward to see what you did with them.
|
Love the panels and they would look great with black and white blocks to match one/few/all quilt designs in it. Oh I look forward to seeing what you do with it.
|
Beautiful quilted panels.
|
That painting /home party plan was Artex, using the paint tubes.
|
I love that panel also. It is so pretty.
|
You must be the luckiest person alive. Those panels are to die for. I have never seen anything quite like them. Kudos to you for listening to your inner prompter.
|
Very cool...
|
What a great find! Love that panel!
