Behind the Seams: An Inside Look at the Panel Mash-Up! Book

What happens when two quilting besties with totally different styles come together to create something new? You get Panel Mash-Up!, a fun, fresh, and truly unique quilting book that blends tradition with modern flair, structure with spontaneity, and timeless design with something fresh and new.

More than just a pattern book, this is the result of years of collaboration between two longtime friends and respected names in the quilting world: Doug Leko of Antler Quilt Design and Gudrun Erla of GE Designs.

Two Designers. Two Distinct Styles. One Shared Vision.

Doug and Gudrun may come from different ends of the design spectrum, but their shared love for quilting, and encouraging makers to get the most from their fabrics, was the perfect foundation for this project.

Doug is known for his classic, traditional aesthetic: clean lines, timeless blocks, and an elegant structure that appeals to quilters who appreciate order and detail. His patterns follow his own writing style—clear, structured, and with that touch of enduring charm that defines his brand.

Gudrun brings her signature modern, Stripology-inspired edge to the mix. Her patterns are written in her own voice, with time-saving techniques and bold visual layouts that appeal to quilters who love a little more freedom, movement, and efficiency in their process.

The result? A dynamic, versatile book where each designer's personality shines through, without blending into one another. You’ll immediately recognize whether a pattern is Gudrun’s or Doug’s, and that’s part of what makes Panel Mashup! so engaging. It’s a book that embraces differences, celebrates individuality, and lets quilters choose their own creative path.

Let the Music Play: A Mashup of Songs and Sewing

To tie it all together, the patterns in Panel Mash-Up! are named after the designer's favorite songs. It’s a playful nod to the way the book blends two voices, two styles, and a wide range of panels into something totally new. Like any great playlist, this book has variety, some tracks are upbeat and bold, others smooth and classic, but every one will have you humming along as you sew.

If you’ve been hoarding beautiful panels without knowing how to use them, or you're simply looking for fresh inspiration, this book delivers. With styles that range from traditional to modern, and instructions written true to each designer’s voice, the book empowers quilters to dive in, mash it up, and make something beautiful.
