We have plenty of quilts and projects that we spend LOTS and LOTS of time on. But
holiday projects? Usually not in that category. When it comes to the holidays,
time is short and the sewing list is long.
That's why we love panels (like the two below that we have
online and in the shop at 118 N. B St. in Livingston,
Mont.). They can be a beautiful short cut for all kinds of quilts, wall
hangings, table runners and other pieces.
But we've met many a quilter who's attracted to -- but
totally stumped by -- panels. Some folks have a hard time envisioning how to
design with a panel in mind. We found this great video tutorial from the wonderful Missouri Quilt Co. that walks you through how to plan a quilt around a panel.
The tutorial
also has neat tips for incorporating pre-cuts like charm packs.
If you need help with a panel project, come see us, we love to
talk ideas! If you've got the ideas and just need the fabric, come on down and
we'll point you right to the panels.
