The Art to HEart Patterns

Post by Chrissy1 » Thu Jun 11, 2009 1:29 am

Does anyone have a photo of a quilt done with a large rectangular panel in the center going from side to side. I am acutally looking for something from the Art To Heart collections to help me deicde if this wonderful panel should be a quilt or a table runner. I so love it

Chrissy, This is a fish panel I added to and made a quilt. It isn't as narrow as what I think you have, and it certainly isn't in the Art To Heart collection, but maybe you can get an idea. Kind of use the same 'thought' colors in the panel for the squares and you can make it as long or as wide as you want and I think it'll look ok. Then you can tie it all together with the borders.

Chrissy, is this the panel at the bottom of the page? There are sure a LOT of coordinating fabrics to work with!

Here's a quilt made from a panel that changes orientation from horizontal to vertical--not sure if this is something you are considering but may give you some ideas:

Sharon that is great. I think what I could do is add less to the sides and more to the top. Are those 9 patch that you did. YOu are amazing. Thanks for sharing the photo. I will write you when I get home from camp tonight. Too much to do to keep staying there. I could probably do the patching in colors that coordinate with the panel and then go from there. THis is going to be fun!!!!
