Susybee Barron the Bear
 

Have you ever had a panel that is so out of square you had to cut it up and pretty much remake it? Well this darn Susybee panel was one of those...... I did the best I could with it and think the mom will love it. I used a bee quilting pattern and my favorite backing shannon canary minky. The border with the owls from a different line of fabrics but I think it looks ok.

you did a great job with it. and i love the bumble bee quilting

Super cute quilt in every way. I know it will be loved.

Love it... super cute!

Panels are actually printed straight. It's the rolling of the yardage onto big rolls, and then the subsequent 'bolting' onto bolts that skews it. Don't be afraid to take a panel and just tug real hard on the bias until you have it square again. Then press.

That came out wonderful. They will love it. The quilting is fantastic!

Looks great.

Darling quilt....quilting is so sweet...

Very sweet!! Great save!

I don't think I have every found an un-skewed panel. I usually tape one selvedge edge to the edge of my cutting table, then dampen the panel slightly and gently tug and tape one perpendicular edge to the table. Using my long cutting rulers and my 12 1/2 inch squares, I gently align and tape the other two edges to the table. Final check is to make sure the diagonal measurements are the same (something my woodworker DH taught me!). Then I wet the whole thing down and leave it to dry. Next day--one squared up panel!

turned out great!

That's just adorable.

Very cute!

Quilt and quilting is so adorable.

Love it.

Your quilt is precious. I love it.

You did a splendid job...it is an adorably fun quilt. Love, love the bee quilting. Question...when you use the minky backing, do you also use batting?

I do a lot of Susybee panel quilts for Project Linus...but have never seen this one. May I inquire as to where you purchased this one? The minky on the back is gorgeous...and the quilting is perfect.

It all works together and makes a very cute quilt!

The bumble bee quilting is awesome!!!!!
What a darling quilt.

Too, too cute!

Turned out really cute, love your quilting

Great Trick! I will try it next time.....

I absolutely love this quilt; like green/yellow. Super cute and looks so cuddly. Great quilting too.

So very cute!

Yes, I've had that problem with panels. Didn't know about tugging on it to square it up, but I'll be trying that in the future.

Looks very nice.

This is nicely done and not heavily quilted so making it soft for a child.

You did a fabulous job!

Very sweet. I love panels and cut them up anyway.

Super cute. Makes me smile, so sunny and happy! Love that owl border.....

Lovely panel and the quilting is excellent. Very nice work.

You did a great save on this cutey.

VERY CUTE QUILT. You did a great job. and Yes, I sure have. I've been having issues with almost any fabric that is digitally produced. It's not thick enough to remain in straight of grain. Just finished a bed size quilt that had this same issue. In the future I'll be stabilizing panels with a very sheer fusible like I use on T-shirt quilts.

You did a great job, so adorable!

I have never had a square panel and had no idea how to fix the problem - so I never bought any after the first three or four. Thanks for the info on how to correct the problem. I am anxious to try this method as there are so many really neat panels out there. Thanks again.

Great job compensating for the fabric. Adorable quilt.

Adorable. Love the quilting. BrendaK
