Patriotic Panel Quilt

7/1/2023

 

Designing Around a Panel

Many of those in the United States will be celebrating Independence Day next week.  In honor of those who have served our country in military service, I designed a Quilt of Valor quilt that can be made from a panel.

Quilts of Valor are made to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing.  You can read more about Quilts of Valor here.

Northcott Fabrics has designed fabric collections specifically focused on Quilts of Valor.  Their collection used in my quilt is Stars and Stripes VII - Stonehenge,  Although the fabric is now out of print, you can access images of the collection here.  This fabric collection has a nice assortment of patriotic fabrics plus a couple of large panels. that would be perfect for a Quilt of Valor.

If you would like to check out Northcott's most recent collection - Stars and Strips 11, you can find it here.  It also has an amazing panel.

I created a quilt using Electric Quilt 8 that was designed to complement one of these panels. 

Regardless of the panel chosen (or the fabric collection), this video tutorial will assist you in design your next panel quilt.

In the free video tutorial learn how to:
  1. Save Quilt of Valor fabric images from the Northcott website.
  2. Import, crop and resize fabric in Electric Quilt 8.
  3. Add the panel to a quilt using the Photo tools.
  4. Create unique border blocks that complement any size panel.
  5. Set the border blocks in a quilt.
  6. Color the quilt including rotate and fussy cut fabric options.

Here is the quilt from the video.

If you are ready to learn more about working with panels, there is a class on designing both T Shirt Quilts and Panel quilts.   Yes the process is very similar for both.  :)

Great use of a panel. I'm sure our QOV group will find this idea very handy. Thanks!
