Granddaughter's panel layout
My GD will be coming this summer. (She is 11) She wants to piece a panel quilt for her mother. Do you have any suggestions for pattern layout? Thank you for your help.

May/June McCall's has a peacock panel (I think, it definitely was blue) and it could have strips added for borders. Now that I think about it, if you have a serger, you could do the quilt as you go serger way to make a quilt. It would be easy, and as each piece is sewn on, it will be done, so you could stop when she got bored with it. Actually, this youtube is done on a regular machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hec7iO6z38

First is to select from so many panels. I agree with the beautiful selection of Peacock panels. Then look at the manufacture's website because they always have pattern as to how to use their fabrics. Also check Google:

Here's the quilt i made for a friend with the peacock panel. It was easy to do. instead of the half square triangles and the flying geese blocks just do another strip if fabric. this would work with any panel
