Here's another panel kit purchased back in 2012 when I visited my cousin in Florida. Like the other one, this has a center panel and 2 coordinating fabrics to go with it.
Here's just the panel. Isn't it gorgeous?
I added the coordinating fabrics as the kit instructions indicated, although I did make the flower border about an inch wider than instructed (there was plenty of fabric). I bought a coordinating pink solid for the backing, and added a strip of that as a final outer border. Here it is on the longarm, ready for quilting:
And the finished quilt!
The binding is made from leftover fabric from that wide floral border. The batting is 100% cotton, and the quilt stitching is done in a gold cotton using the "Baptist Fan" groovy boards.
The finished dimensions are 45"x63".
I sent a photo of it to Nancy, the contact person for "
Inspirational Quilts" and asked if she'd like to have this one for her charity group. She responded saying she's sure she'll be able to find a good home for it. I couldn't be happier. :-)
