I have used matching or contrasting fabrics to add different sized borders to the panels. They make great wall hangings. To make a bigger quilt, just add more strips. Hope this helps you. I am sure you will get a lot more help :lol:

I'm sorry I don't have a picture, but I used a Disney Princess panel added 4 borders in colors found in the panel, then fussy cut some princess fabric with several of the disney princesses into diamond blocks and staggered those with a purple glitter solid for the final border. My granddaughter just loves her quilt. I call her my pumpkin pie and so named the quilt "Pumpkin Pie's Princesses". Added "Made with Much Love for Skyler from Mema" with the month and year on the Quilt label. Just be creative!

If you check the Northcott web site, Patty Carey one of their designers has designed many free patterns using panels. She's great at adding extra sashings and strips to flush out pre-printed panels to large quilts.

There's some good ideas in this book. http://www.amazon.com/Clever-Quilts-.../dp/1564774465
