    Default Help!! how to use it

    I have this beautiful material and I do not know how to use it to make a quilt. I do not want to cut and then not be able to build a good looking quilt. Any suggestions?

    I don't know the scale or size of your pictures, and I don't remember the name of this pattern, but it is useful when you have a large picture or several accompanying small ones.

    ​Some of the big fabric companies have patterns for working with panels, I would look through them.

    Gorgeous horses, and great accessory fabrics. I agree - go searching thru the net - the fabric companies must have some ideas to throw out for these panels they sell.

    I just checked: it's called Sidelights.

    I think I would have the 2 larger panels just 'kiss' and place squares of the smaller horses in a log cabin or attic window setting, then add borders.

    The large squares could be complimented by 9-patch blocks of the other fabrics.
