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 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.
