    Default Re: Panel Quilt

    What a darling panel! I am making it my mission to figure out ways to adorn panels and make them into cute quilts!

    I have no pattern, but here's a couple of ideas, off the top of my head. You could do strips of the colors and apply multiple borders using all the colors, until it is the size you want it to be.

    You could take the 5 colors and make squares and do a D9P border around it. This would take some calculations, and I could maybe figure it out if I knew the exact size of the panel.

    You could put one border around the panel, then do a piano key border using all of the colors of your fabrics sewed together as a wide 4-5" border, then another regular border.

    You could do half square triangles or pinwheels as blocks to build a border around it.

    All of this requires some math to figure out how big of pieces to start with to make it end up exactly fit together. Without the size of the panel, it wouldn't be possible to calculate how big to make every block. The easiest to do, without a lot of difficult math calculation is the multiple borders.

    Did you see the post about rulers that someone put on the forum yesterday? They give the exact way to measure squares to end up with a certain size block. I want to order the rulers just so I don't have to do the math. They look like you could create many things without overtaxing the brain.

    Duh, I just saw that you DID post how big the panel is, let me work on it and try to help. How big do you want it to end up? How are you going to quilt them?
