Love love love it The colors you chose was perfect thanks so much for sharing your talent and ideas❣️🧵✂️🪡💖💕💓💗

[@paulasmith6169]

Love ❤️ it beautiful job Kimberly.

[@dbeckman6329]

Hi when I work with panels it is most important for the words to be level. So when I trim, I place my ruler under the wording and establish the perpendicular line for the sides. Then I use that as a guide to trim. That way the wording is level. I would have used the word Harvest for this panel. Try it!

[@melanietannertaylor0401]

Great tip ! ❤

[@GiGi-si9mo]

Excellent video. Thank you. Very very informative and helpful.

[@deborahstrain3127]

Thank you SO MUCH for using Harvest Wishes to create this lovely quilt!! I am honored and LOVE how it came out!

[@melanietannertaylor0401]

Love this !❤

[@kathyrackow880]

Kimberly explained the process of the panel and borders very well. Thanks Kimberly!

[@LawandaFinch]

Yes please do more panel videos. I have some Christmas ones that are Henry glass I need some ideas.

[@user-fr9fj3wz8i]

I used Riley Blake's Adventure is Calling quilt panels on the back of my throw quilts for my grandson. Using panels on the back of my quilts saves time and money and makes a 2-sided quilt!

[@kristyrohm1500]

Great tutorial...I have lots of panels ❤

[@lowentx]

I love how this pattern for the panel looks like a giant spool of thread.

[@grandmastraw]

Love this! Thanks for sharing how to do this technique.

[@reniadavis5289]

Yes, Kimberly, you are a born “math” teacher. I learn so much from your tutorials.

[@user-vt3pf4ie5z]

I purchased panels because I love the prints, but didn’t know what to do with them. Thanks for the ideas.

[@paml2642]

This was so helpful in the accurate cutting of a panel!

[@klparker76401]

This is so cute in a total different color palette!

[@barbolson8768]

Hi Kimberley, now I have no excuses for the panels I have sitting in my drawers. This is a great and easy idea. Thank you very much for showing us how simple it is to add borders.

[@cathj8568]

Oh wow! A grt example of careful prep work prior to stitching! Thx Kimberly

[@jennytobias6551]

Kimberly I continue to learn so much from you when watching your tutorials. You are a born teacher!!! Thank You so much for “ALL” you do !!!!💕

[@carolSchiffhauernottingham]

Thank you sooo much for showing how to trim a panel ❤❤

[@esthertoombs6961]

Kimberly, This is by far the most instructive tutorial on bordering a panel that I've seen. And I've seen a few. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@bambisalazar1559]

Thanks for Sharing Kimberly. Beautiful ❤

[@sherryedwards5978]

What a beautiful panel. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@jenmckitrick]

You are so right about slapping on long borders -- they never come out flat. Measure and pin for better results! The "pin and cut later" tip is a new tip for me. I will definitely try that. Thanks!

[@ninagillenwater4502]

Love it!! So cute! Thank you, Kimberly!!

[@stephaniez.hironimus4007]

Kimberly, I've been quilting over 20 years & I do find/pin my middle before adding borders. I've seen you measure & pin your border strips before, but after watching this video, I decided I love your method. I always cut my strips to the exact length, but I'm definitely trying this way on my next quilt 🩵

[@ninettebeheler1746]

Here’s another tutorial for me to save in my favorites! Thank you!

[@lynnperschke3966]

Thank you what great tips I always take away a little more knowledge from your videos!

[@patriciaruppert201]

Looks awesome. Thank you. ❤

[@bjune1285]

I'm so glad you did this video. I have several panels I bought cause they were so pretty, but never knew what to do with them. I am inspired and motivated to do something with them now. Thank you so much for your continued education and inspiration. You and all of your staff are phenomenal.

[@cabindiana55]

Thank you for all you do!😊

[@changaKitty]

Thanks Kimberly and FQS for doing this great tutorial, beautiful panel and such a quick project when you need a gift fast!🥰🤩

[@carriemcgarry2401]

I love this design❤

[@waikikialoha6300]

This is such a cute quilt, Kimberley. Thank you, as always for showcasing your stellar work and very creative designs.

[@sandrawright4286]

Great presentation! Now I have a plan for the panels I've collected. Thank you!

[@Janet-bf1dt]

I have had my eye on this panel but didn't know what I would do with it. Thank you Kimberly for showing a different way to add borders to give the quilt more interest. Thank you too for doing all the math and providing a free pattern. You are very generous ❤

[@margoweber3191]

You are a great teacher, Kimberly. Thank you so much for all these great tips and a free pattern! ❤️

[@marypatmonnig2383]

I guess I’m ordering more fabric! This is beautiful ❤

[@marlahanks7278]

That turned out just so pretty! The last several years I've seen more & more aqua colored pumpkins in fabric & decor & I just love them!!!

[@phapy2451]

Your tutorials are a wealth of information! Thank you

[@alindac1]

I use panels as part of the backing that way the quilt is reversible!! 😊😊

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

I do that too. It makes the back of the quilt more interesting. A little more work but well worth the effort.

[@debbienoreski6086]

Great idea.

[@alindac1]

@@debbienoreski6086 thank you!!

[@patriciahomer5342]

I love it! So helpful!

[@lorawhitfield6995]

This is great! I love the courthouse steps style of border as opposed to a normal border. I have the perfect little panel to try this with for an Emergency Infant Services donation quilt!! ❤

[@debbienoreski6086]

I like the courthouse steps too. It adds more interest.

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

THANK YOU!!! I just bought a panel last month with some coordinating fabrics. But I didn't know how to make it interesting. I like this courthouse border. And free patterns are always welcome.

[@margaretbergen9969]

I seem to collect panels with no plans and for no other reason then they are pretty. Deb Strain always has such great panels.

[@klparker76401]

Ditto

[@LawandaFinch]

Same here! Most. Of mine are Christmas panels that I have no clue what to do with.

[@viviandevore4884]

Love it! I just reorganized my sewing room and gathered all my fabric panels in one place. Now I have a plan to use them!

[@maureenabramson4224]

I recently did the same thing, putting all panels together.

[@CraftyRoxx]

I like this simple design. Perfect for gifting and charity quilts. I have added flying geese to the frame the corners with strips in between. I will definitely be trying this one. I have a good collection of Christmas panels. TFS

[@joyscranfield5527]

Great looking panel quilt! I have a few panels that need finishing. You're a life saver with tutorial; many thanks!

[@trudybarss2667]

I have always been intimidated by panels due to not knowing what to do with them. Thank you for the tutorial. I am now going to sew them up. Thank you!

[@nancycrowley5201]

Another GREAT tutorial! I am going to have to get that panel & make the quilt. You explain things so clearly! I wish I didn't have to sleep😂

[@sharabundy-ur1mf]

Thank you for doing this tutorial! I have two panels that I have been struggling with finding a pattern for making them. Now I know what to do!! Thank you!

[@joanmclean2389]

Thank You!! I love this idea!!

[@jaynebromley]

I’ve always wanted a video for panels. Thanks!

[@amandaaskew7606]

I love this line, and the panels in it!

[@OrlaQuirk]

Thank you. I really like the stepped "platform" look as part of this border. Very interesting.

[@helenpeddycord2241]

This is a beautiful panel combination and Kimberly did a great presentation! Thank you💕🧵

[@denisepineda1788]

I am not a big panel person, but I love this one. I struggle with fall decorating because I don’t like orange very much. I have to say though when it is mixed with my favorite color, blue, I love it. I have already ordered the quilt kit and backing set, because I cannot wait to do this one and have it ready for the fall. Thanks for the great tutorial. I love these stand alone videos so I don’t have to search through various live streams to find the tutorial I am looking for!! You and your team are the greatest!!!

[@debbienoreski6086]

I totally agree.

[@pyenygren2299]

I love the court house step pattern.

[@patriciaallen3138]

Thank you for making this video. I 'm just finishing a baby quilt for a great grandbaby. I just added borders to the side. I really like your version. I'm going to use panels to make quilts for the grandchildern and great grandbabies for christmas.

[@debbienoreski6086]

Me too I have so many panels that I have purchased to make my granddaughter and grandson quilts. They are 3 and 5…some may be too juvenile.

[@tearose3763]

this was very fun, we need more panal idea tutorials..

[@kathyaschenbach8081]

Thank you so very much for doing this love panel ideas! Looks great lots of good tips. Thank you!

[@paulabaumer5528]

Very interesting. I'm starting to quilt andbags

[@DotJFreel]

I'm in love with that fabric line! The colors are so unique for Fall. Stunning really. Both panels are gorgeous. Hard to decide which one to buy.

[@paniolena5792]

Wonderful! Looks like a picture. Thank you for idea!🙂❤

[@carmenmaldonado6486]

Thank you so much for teaching us such a great technique. You’re such a good teacher. We all love you ❤️❤️❤️

[@MarciaBaker1205]

Thank you so much Kimberly! I've always messed up panels not knowing how to make them straight. This quilt is beautiful. ❤

[@lisab7160]

This looks like a fun project for me to learn on. I’m waiting for the kits to be restocked as we speak 🥰 Thanks!!

[@maureenabramson4224]

This is such a great and simple idea! Thanks Kimberly and team.❤

[@AllisonNorris13]

I love this line!

[@myscrappinmama]

So cute! I did my first panel a few months ago and the tip about squaring up the panel itself would have been so helpful at the time. Thank you again! You are not gonna believe this. I found in my scrapbook paper stash an almost exact pattern and paper. Crazy!

[@luvtoknit]

Wow thank you for this fantastic tutorial...it was extremely helpful.

[@fernlamberson565]

Thanks Kimberly! You made it look good! 🌻🐝🌻

[@rferaco9295]

What a great idea!!! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@maryloudawson8999]

Great tips on borders. Thanks!

[@tearose3763]

this material is precious

[@geralynlima9152]

Simple, yet striking! Great tutorial! I’m gonna try it.

[@leemiller2811]

Excellent ❤

[@CJ-ph6zk]

Kimberley I loved both but lighter was my favorite. There are several patterns I have seen lately including this one I would love to buy. The trunk show with the Santa face won my heart. I hope she realises how much joy her patterns and finished quilts bring to people. I have been in Spain the past year helping my son take care of grandchildren. With international shipping it isn't affordable. Watching you helps a lot. This is what I miss most. Again thank you so much for these videos

[@Melinda-ec1ud]

I love this panel !! Thank you Kimberly for this tutorial! You gave me an idea for this panel! Love the pumpkin quilting on the dark panel quilt. ❤😊

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Thank you FQS❤

[@robing476]

Love the panel tutorial and how to avoid the waves when adding the borders. I love this fabric collection and panel. 🍂🩵 🎃

[@janelicata5328]

Thank you so much for another great tutorial, Kimberly! I have several panels in my stash and now I know just what I can do with them!

[@nancyfitzpatrick3665]

[@susanspratling]

Thank you awesome tutorial as always Kimberly

[@szelop]

Love the stacked borders!

[@karenbrunette6314]

Great tutorial ty Kimberly jolly

[@dianeharris9432]

Can't thank you enough for the free patterns, it motivates me to get busy on projects you demonstrate. You are so gifted.

[@shellyculver4239]

❤ been waiting for this! Wonderful design & instructions! Thank you

[@debbienoreski6086]

I too am so glad you did this tutorial. I have so many panels along with the coordinating fabric but did not know how to put it together. I love, love panels. You have motivated and inspired me to start making panel quilts. Please keep making tutorial videos for beginners such as me!!

[@marysewitsky4823]

That’s beautiful, thanks so much

[@tearose3763]

oh i love seeing all these little pop ups i havnt seen or possibly missed but...i love coming across a tutorial or quicky....👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽more more more!❤

[@stuckinstitches]

I want this panel!!

[@sarahtill3190]

Kimberly, I recommend the Striplogy XL ruler by Creative Grids. You would have been able to fold your panel in half across the horizontal and trim down with 2 cuts. That’s what I use almost exclusively and FQS sells them😊

[@kathythompson8057]

I love this tutorial!

[@deannejollota5102]

Fantastic
