My idea would be to use the larger panel block in the center; make 4 log cabins blocks (solid colors from panel) to use as the "center" of the new 9 patch - adding extra rows to get to the size needed and doing the same as the 4 blocks in your panel. What do you think?

That panel is very pretty!

You could just send it to me and alleviate any problems!!! Love the panel. Not sure but maybe you could use just the center picture and then use the four smaller ones as set in corner squares after adding a couple of borders. It's very nice. Where did you get it if you don't mind my asking?

Love the panel. Please show us the finished quilt.

WOW I like that panel ,who puts it out??

How about some golden braids of grain. Different shades to look like wheat braids. Straw,yellows,golds,greens, would look nice and not take away from the main design. That way you could go wider and still look manly and stay in theme. :D :mrgreen:

Another possibility would be a thin then just a little wider inner borders then simple 4 or 9 patch blocks and an outer border depending on the size of the panel or flying geese blocks, but simple and somewhat Americana to go with the style of the panel.
