And this is what I did to it. I cut off the little pictures, added green sashing to the left side of the big panel. Little green sashings were added in between the little ones next and added to the left side of the big panel. There is a tinge of gray in the panel so I chose red and grey for the flying geese top and bottom borders surrounded by a green border. I want to encourage you all to get a panel and try some different things with it. It really is so fun to come up with a new look!
Quilting is always a fun part for me. Here is how I chose to quilt this one.
I tend to do a lot of stitch in the ditch, I think it makes the piece lie so much flatter. So I SID before doing the interior quilting in that area.
It's another beauty!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting always adds so much to your panels. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good Vicki - I love those flying geese. I'm glad to hear you SID before quilting. I do that too. I think it makes the quilting so much nicer.
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki,
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying how you are showing us some new tricks with panels. I really love this one, especially the swirling snow in the center. I wonder what size it finished off at? It looks big to me, and SO much better than the original panel. ~smile~ Roseanne
Your quilting makes the quilt!!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, Vicki...I really appreciate you showing us how you work with these panels. I have at least 3 waiting for me to work on.
ReplyDeleteLove how you quilted them, too!
So fun seeing how you are enhancing these panels with extra blocks and the quilting finishes it off perfectly. I've only quilted one big quilt (and a few minis) so consider myself still very new to quilting. Do you bury all your threads when doing this? Or do you do a little reverse stitching at the end of a motif?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have some leftovers from Christmas panels I cut up that I need to make into a table runner.
ReplyDeleteI love it and the swirly quilting is perfect for the snow area.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the panel, and the quilting is great too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your snow panel. I haven't done anything with a panel yet but I am impressed with your work.
ReplyDeleteI like the Christmas panel wall hanging. I need to try a panel.
ReplyDeleteWell done, you transformed a boring panel into a fun quilt, and your wonderful quilting sets it off beautifully.
