Synopsis: How to work with a variety of pre-printed panels to create one-of-a-kind quilts, table runners, placemats, and bags. No pattern necessary—create your own!Learn the process of making a panel quilt using three different types of panels (solo image, multiple image, and multi-frame) and how to work with each panel type. Quilters will explore how to square up selections, work with challenging measurements, and use different types of settings. Also learn clever design concepts that enhance your ability to create a unified and interesting project with samples of panel quilts that focus on those specific concepts. You’ll learn to study the panel itself to find design inspiration, themes, and motifs. With basic math concepts, you can map out your design and use traditional quilt foundations, such as medallion quilts and row by row quilts.
