I was in Joann's today and browsing the book racks (30% off this week ;-) ) on my way out.
A book I had never seen before (I think it just came out) contained a lot of ideas about incorporating panels into quilt tops - more than just surrounding it with border after border.

You can see from the cover how they altered the panel to give it a bit of 'extra' umpf.

I am in the planning stages of a quilt made from a panel with deers...its bordered in great fall leaves...I purchased a couple complimentary fabrics to border it with. One was of fall leaves that match the leaves in the panels quite well. I am going to put a border of that fabric all the way around it and then applique leaves over top of leaves and into the surrounding borders incorporating them into each other.

some years ago I made a quilt for an eagle scout using a panel with a soaring eagle and a triple irish chain. The panel sets near the foot of the bed when made. The blue fabric is fishes because he was a swimmer in high school - still is, but now he coaches.
