I would like the center panel in the middle, and checkerboard blocks around it, then use the other four panels for the corners.

Wow...love the panel! I agree with the others....I would add a 4 patch and a border around it.

where did you find them at? My daughter wants me to make
John Deere. quilts for the boys bunk beds . That would be
perfect.

What if you cut the panel into three blocks and then add more blocks that have a farm theme or vegetable theme or stash or frame the panels with same. I could see this with a corn and potato or even tractors. Where did you find this panel?

Love the panel! I think green/tan log cabin blocks around the outside would look nice but depends on how big you want it to be. I think the old fashioned block would look good with the antique tractors.

I think a simple pattern around it, like Log Cabin or Rail Fence, would be really nice.

love this panel....here is what i would do with it....i would do a thin red border then a piano key border with several colors....then i would put 4 ohio stars in the corners with a wide border whatever size i made the ohio stars...it will be great no matter what

I would cut the center picture out use that as the center of the quilt. I would make a pieced border around the center panel. Then use the other panels on the corners maybe using them for the center of a star.
