I want one of these panels too! I want to make an attic window quilt and this would be so perfect. Where can I buy one or two?

Maybe I need another cup of coffee, I don't understand how to sew panel pieces before I cut? Please explain to this confused Lucy.

I found all fabrics at Hancocks of Paducah, some of them are on sale. I really like the service they provide, fast prompt FAIR shipping being a priority. I think attic window with this panel would be beautiful!

I found them at www.fabric.com. I am not affiliated with them at all. Just buy fabric there sometimes.

Each section of the tree is a separate square with a different kind of bird in it. It kind of looks like puzzle pieces with only rectangular or square pieces and 'sashing' in between each block. You have to sew it together to make the whole tree with all of the birds in it. Sewing first would help keep the sections straight and help them fit together better than sewing each block apart first and then dealing with stretching, etc. Clear as mud? I hope not!

If not I may have to PM for clarification if that is alright. I certainly need easier more than dealing with____________ :0)

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply.

Would you please add details to this for me? I just ordered the panel. I could not get the coordinating fabrics so will have to wait for it to arrive before I can shop for some. If you could provide some details here I would know better what to look for and plan. Thanks in advance!
