Highly-rated pattern book offering creative panel quilt designs for various sizes. Customers praised "great ideas" and "easy to follow directions" with spiral binding that lays flat. Most appreciated the variety of borders and versatile patterns. Some desired more simple, quick designs or horizontal panel options.
I love the patterns in the Panel Mashup book. I love to use panels and this gives me great ideas. They are bery easy to follow
I absolutely love the Panel Mash-Up Book. I have many panels I didn’t know what I was going to do with them. I was able to quickly piece together a quilt to be donated to my Granddaughter’s Equine riding group as part of their fundraising project. Can’t wait to start another with panel squares from a recent shop hop.
Just what I've needed for years of saving panels. Wonderful book!!
I belong to our local Quilts of Valor group, and we sew quilts for veterans. I was given a patriotic panel to sew into a quilt, & this book released just as I was thinking of how to frame the panel to best showcase it. The book gives ideas for several different sized panels, & this one just happened to be perfect. Picture below. I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for new ideas for quilts. This particular frame almost took longer to cut than to piece.
Whomever delivers for you threw my package in the flower bed and it rained on it for two days before we found it. The book is ruined. All packages are always placed on the porch. Especially if it’s raining. This has never happened here. They just had to walk a few more feet to put it on the porch.
Good morning, please send an email to Help@gequiltdesigns.com. Once the package leaves our facility, we are not in control of its delivery method, but we are here to make it right!
Got this to work on some panels I got. I love the patterns in this book
My panel was longer and narrower than the pattern so I had to make some modifications but I love the results.
Beautiful Have started to use it
I make many quilts to donate to two different children’s homes! The kids get to keep them for ever They like panel ones best because of the themes Animals, Lions and tigers and bears! And especially dragons I make most of them twin bed size, so they can sleep under them. I am anxious to use your patterns for some of the panels I have. They look great. Now next design some for horizontal panels. So the quilts will make a bed covering
As a retired science teacher, I fell in love with the science fabrics you had several years ago. I used your Elvira pattern. A friend with a long arm quilted it with an organic chemistry pattern.
The book looks very interesting with many unique designs for quilts using panels. However, my book arrived damaged and after contacting you, have heard nothing.
Great book with terrific ideas for using panels.
Great pattern book, many ideas for both large and small panels
Great ideas and beautiful designs. Can be adapted and combined for any of your panels!
