Stonehenge Quilt of Valor

7/6/2019

 

Designing Around a Panel

Many of those in the United States celebrated Independence Day this past 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 most recent collection is Stars and Stripes VII - Stonehenge,  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.

I created a new 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.
