I was given this panel and didn't know what to do with it. I am not much on wall hangings so decided to use it as a centerpiece for a lap quilt. I used double high loft batting and hand quilted around the main subjects and the muscles of the horses. With so much batting I couldn't take real small stitches, I think they are about 5 per inch. I am debating about the borders. Maybe a braid pattern in browns or I have a sand colored southwest print with kokapelli figures. I am resting my hands before I finish it.

Some have asked for the name on the panel. It is called Native Legacy by Spring Industries. It is several years old but you might try Ebay to see if anyone has it.
