3 Border Ideas for Panels

Excellent Tips for Adding Blocks for Larger Quilts!

Panel prints are great for when you want to create a beautiful quilt quickly. And, there are many wonderful panels to choose from (Fat Quarter Shop has a wide selection here).

But, what do you do with a panel once you have it? Often you can simply layer, quilt and bind a panel as is. Or, add a simple border. However, panels offer many creative options for incorporating them into larger quilts by placing blocks around them.

In the following video, Jenny Doan shows you three quilts with three different border options. Blocks are used in all three to showcase the panels and to build them out into larger quilts. They’re all easy to do and will work with many panel styles.

Jenny provides design ideas plus many helpful tips for fitting bordering blocks to panels, as well as how-to’s for all three border styles. This excellent video is sure to prompt ideas for your next panel quilt.
