nanakat may I ask what a panel is that you speak of in your post? Thanks for taking the time too help me learn quilting.

A panel is, for instance, http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Night-Befor...mdZViewItemQQptZUS_Fabric?hash=item3355921c99 you can either quilt over certain parts of it or cut it and make blocks from it. Usually you can use it as a centerpiece for your quilt and put pieced blocks around it..very cool, I've used the 12 Days of a Froggy Christmas panel twice and I cut and made blocks with mine.

I think the panel you mention is from a message from SarahBeth9394.
Scrambled gave a great answer.

Panels are really fun in a children's quilt also. All you need to do is add coordinating borders. These are really quick to make. Once you add a backing and batting, you can pin and then either quilt by machine, by hand or use tie threads. Then a binding and you are done.

MaryJo's has bus load (HONESTLY) coming every day. If MaryJo's doesn't haven't you aren't likely to find it any place else.

If you happen to come to NC and need a room for the night, I'm about 15min away. Only problem is, my DH doesn't let me go to MaryJo's without a chaperone. I know ya'll will keep me within budget!

If I remember right, that quilt Acre had pictures of, with the hen blocks, was two panels put together and stitched around, no, not too hard Mema, easier actually, give it a try, there are tons of pretty panels...for the one in the link above I just typed in fabric panel in the ebay search and I think like 1600 choices came up! Good luck

Loving Stitches is like that too in Fayetteville...thank you Crumples for introducing me to the place, lol!! It's very upscale though, some "bargain basement 30% off fabric in the actual basement though! Here is their website..beautiful brand new store.. http://www.lovingstitches.net/ my daughter's christmas quilt, a batman 9 patch ( yes, she loves batman!) is currently over there for top stitching. They are going to use a bat graphic to top stitch with, it should turn out awesome and I know she will love it. But, yeah, those local quilt shops are soooo tempting..just the quilts hanging on the walls in this one will take your breath away!! So if Mary-jos' is anything like it, I KNOW Coyote will need a chaperone!!
