I agree! I would not have been able to pass this up as well!!! Who makes this panel? I would love to find one (or two) also....I'm thinking one for me, one for a gift....Can't wait to see what you do with it!

I would not have been able to resist either...that is why I have soooo much fabric stash. I would try to do a quilt/wall hanging. You may be able to look up on the fabric website to see what they did with it and get some ideas/inspiration from there. These kind of panels are tricky for a quilt or wall hanging just because of the odd sizes but you could always fabric frame them to come up with a universal size square and add fabrics from you stash to see what you come up with. Good luck and I'm sure whatever you decide will be great.

The side art (thread pin,cushion) Would be borders.
The large picture I would cut out leaving 1/4 of white material so hwn you sew it you won't be to mauch on the picture itself. The 2 smaller pictures I would sash them and place on top or bottom of the large picture. Or with the 2 smaller pictures, I would get material to blend with it and sew that material on both side of each picture and place them one on top and one on the bottom or the big picture. Clear as mud right? Hope this helps.

Those panels are darling! I'd want to display them on a wall, myself.
I love the embroidery hoops display! I might have to do that with some favorite fabrics!

I would make a wallhanging with it. Use the center panel as the center of the quilt then make some quilting blocks to go around the entire center. Maybe pinwheels, shoo fly blocks or even a variety. Then I would use the strips along the sides as a border. Cute fabric by the way.

I really like that panel!
How about a very large tote bag to carry your quilting notions for quilt classes?
The large panel on one side, coordinating fabric on the other and those two small squares could be pockets. The border fabric could be a flap for the top or use it on the inside top of bag to add a little fun.

Very cute panel. Here is a wall hanging pattern that Henry Glass & Co. did with the Sewing Room Social line of fabric.
