Cut it apart. add a simple border to each block and then add specific blocks that relate to farming, ex. Churndash. Where you need to fill in....do minis of the blocks you have chosen. Stay true to the colors and you have great choices from the panel.
|
Think quilt blocks you see on barns and use those for a border all around the panel. Eleanor Burns has a book Barn Quilts or google barn quilts.
|
Perhaps on one of the borders you could use pinwheels. A plain border, then a pinwheel border and then another plain border.
|
I would cut the blocks apart and use hole in the barn door as blocks between. Big block for the center!! :thumbup:

make blocks in patterns & fabrics that complement, possibly a sampler quilt to showcase your skills. He'll love it. |
Wow what a surprise to see the pannel here. I bought this to make something quilted for my brothers 50th wedding anniversary, but didn'thave time to make it. The backside was to have had an oil rig & a windmill. Since have changed my idea. Please share finished project. Thank you.

Strips, flying geese, squares, guessing just about anything.

Surround the panel with a sampler of different blocks made in the panel colors, but from your stash.

think that is good idea. I did that on one of the panels like that. the center block was the focal point. Each corner had a block, and added sashing around the blocks and panels. turned out nice.
