April 8, 2014 – Panels are Versatile

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you found a fun fabric panel, but not sure what to do with it?  Don’t stress, you have several options.  You can add sashing and borders, cut the panel apart and use as many sections as desired, etc.  Then let the fun begin.

The first sample kept the original panel intact and then has two borders.  The first border is multi-colored and was actually part of the original panel and the second border is blue.  The backing chosen for this quilt was a multi-colored striped Minky fabric and the binding was a navy blue Minky fabric.  The project was quilted using an all-over meander stitch.

The second sample was originally a six-block panel with three different giraffe designs.  The blocks were cut apart and reassembled using five of the blocks plus alternating animal skin print Minky fabric blocks.  The backing and binding chosen for this quilt was the animal skin print.  The project was quilted using an all-over meander stitch.
