I LOVE that you are including the computer image of the finished quilt top! Makes it so much easier to imagine the final look!

[@rebeccapickett9692]

Similar to the panel idea, I'm planning on using a 3 Yard Quilt pattern for a t-shirt quilt. We found some old t-shirts from when my daughter was a child, but I can still get 8 to 10 inch blocks out of them. Of course, with t-shirts, they have to be stabilized to hold the shape. But it should work just fine in a large block pattern.

[@FabricCafe]

I love that idea! Thanks for sharing! Donna

[@rebeccafoster-faith6647]

what a great idea. I have 6 tshirts from my deceased FIL and I wanted to make a couch blanket for my MIL. thanks

[@anitanoland9188]

It's called a Joey Kangaroo. . I just love this video. Ty Fran and Donna for a great video. Just love it.❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jenedelwilcox6647]

A baby kangaroo is a joey. Love these patterns. If you have panel blocks that are smaller than pattern calls for, just add some strips around the cut panel unit to bring it up to size. Such great ideas. Thanks.

[@craftyweavers1837]

Panels are always hard to think out of the box but you made it easy. Thank you for the ideas. You are right about being quick to buy what you like. I missed out on the Hocus Pocus quilt. Also, baby Kangaroos are called Joeys.

I've also used a layer cake for some of the patterns. You just cut the squares to the right size and it gives your quilt more variety.

[@FabricCafe]

That's a great idea!

I wish I could come to Houston but there's no way. Just not doing the traveling anymore. But, maybe you could look into coming to the Phoenix Sewing and Craft Festival, held the last weekend in January. It's a 3-day event and very popular. A lot of designers give a class and of course, have a booth to sell their products. Would love to meet you all. I love what you've done with the panels. How about a large panel that can't be cut. Can you show us how to fit some blocks around them?

[@1228Rhonda]

Loved the video, you two ladies are amazing. Donna has more spunk then the average 20 year old. Fran love, love your shirt and your smile is contagious

I love all your patterns and tutorials. This has been an especially helpful tutorial. I make lots of charity quilts for abused children. Your patterns work well for scrap fabrics. Can you do a tutorial on long panels? And/or create a book on long panels? Thank you

Oh my the quilt festival in Houston skit and invite was sew cute! You all did an amazing job. You should do that as a stand alone video so people won’t miss it. What if they don’t watch this video? The panel quilts are all adorable. I just made one and posted on instagram on the last day of September. I can’t wait to make another one! Your patterns are sew fun to make and easy to follow. Thank you

[@loiskundel4986]

Love these ideas for the panels with squares in them. I have acquired some precut squares I plan to use. Thanks for the ideas. Have you given thought to designing a quilt pattern for the big picture type panels? The ones you can’t cut?

Not at this time. But thanks for the suggestion. Donna

[@maryclementdouglass8867]

Thanks for your suggestion for my panel quilt. My panel is one image not suitable for cutting into blocks. Mary Douglass Salina KS

[@FabricCafe]

Hi Mary! You're so welcome. Another idea is to use a large panel as part of the backing on your quilt. It would also look wonderful.

[@gbquilter]

I was hoping you would have a panel pattern that had a large pattern in the middle and the tree yards of fabric around the panel to make it a bit bigger quilt. I did love the patterns and panels you did show.

[@rebeccapickett9692]

I think "Quilts for Kids" has a big square in the middle pattern.

[@doria5978]

Love the witching hour quilt, but couldn’t find it on your website. Is it sold out?

[@FabricCafe]

Yes, it is. It sold quickly.

[@mary2240]

What a great video!Such great idea! I have some Christmas panels that I want to quilt for Christmas. I’ll be looking through my many 3 yard quilt books for ideas. Til I saw your video it had not occurred to me that I could use panels to make some of your quilt patterns. Thank you so much!

[@cathleendecina2270]

Cute kits for Halloween & kids! Baby kangaroos are joeys.

[@coralpilling4737]

Great idea. Thank you so much for pointing out how easy it is to add panels to your patterns. Joey kangaroo.

[@tammikatt1249]

question: What do you use for the digital rendering of the quilt? and what if you are short squares for your 'focus'?

[@FabricCafe]

We use EQ software for the images. If you don't have enough of the squares, you could make a smaller quilt, or fill in will a coordinating fabric.

[@apunujjin1590]

What is the blue fabric collection that is used for the landslide quilt shown in the very beginning?

[@FabricCafe]

That is a Kaffe fabric.

[@kathymaccrea8621]

I was so excited when I saw this video was going to work with panels. I have a panel of the Eiffle Tower in Paris that I want to use in a quilt but it is black, white and grays. The woman is carrying a red umbrella, the only color in the panel. I am stumped as to what to put around it. I was hopeful that you could help me. The quilts you made with these panels are wonderful. Can you help with a large center panel?

[@FabricCafe]

The larger prints are different. It, of course depends on the measurement of the print. There are so many variables!

[@marshawallace7522]

Sounds like an opportunity to branch into something like 3 yards + panel books.

[@janicelough3918]

The baby Roos are called Joeys.😊

[@michellegallas9916]

Any ideas for a single large panel in the center? 🤞🏻

[@FabricCafe]

Hi Michelle! We do have a pattern that can utilize a single large fabric in the center, I will link it here - www.fabriccafe.com/Big-Picture-3-Yard-Quilt-Pattern-p/091521.htm - Another idea would be to possibly cut up the single large panel into smaller squares and have them arranged across the quilt in a way that would keep them in order and when you looked at the quilt in full the image of the panel would appear. That idea may be a little more complicated, but could work and be fun. We are working on creating more patterns that utilize fabric panels, but don't have many at the moment. 😢🤞🏼

[@MsDale1976]

Is there a way to use panels, full panels, like a scene of trees, etc, with three yard quilts? I hope you understand what I mean. I have dozens of panels but seem to do them the same way all the time. Panel in the middle then borders. Thanks for your suggestions.

[@FabricCafe]

Hi ReRe! We don't have any additional 3-yard quilt patterns exclusively for panels. One idea would be to use our Lickity Split pattern and don't strip piece the vertical rows. Just cut the length out of the panel, add any extra to reach the needed length of 54 1/2", and then assemble with the sashing strips. It would be a cool affect if you are using a scenic panel like trees. - Fran
