Quilting with panels—a large design printed on one piece of fabric to be used as the whole piece—is extremely versatile and growing in popularity, but quilters often need guidance on what to do with them to make them interesting and creative. Enter Quilting with Panels and Patchwork! A quilter's guide for getting design ideas, fabric tips, and quilting inspiration, this book offers a fresh perspective on using panels through the lens of patchwork. The 15 panel quilt projects include easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and full-color photos to help guide you. Have fun modifying the ideas with your own inspiration, panels, and patchwork fabric pieces. Approachable for quilters of all skill levels, this book will help you step up your panel quilts and make them more beautiful than ever before! Author Shannon Arnstein begins with a general introduction to panels, patchwork, and the necessary tools you'll need to get started, then reviews the different techniques you can use to accomplish your task, including squaring blocks, half-square triangles, paper piecing, mitering borders, creating wall hanging sleeves, and more. She also includes the math she uses for her fabric size so you can adjust your measurements appropriately, provides guidance on selecting fabrics that pair perfectly with your panel (including pre-cut fabrics), and offers tips for selecting complementary quilting designs. Each project approaches panels in a new way, offering a springboard for your inspiration. Learn the techniques for enhancing panels, then incorporate them into your own quilting projects using panels you already have. By seeing step-by-step how each design was created, you can apply your favorite approach to your own panel quilting journey. Get the inspiration you need to turn those panels you don't know what to do with into stunning quilts, with Quilting with Panels and Patchwork!
