I made another small quilt (34" x45") last week using a pink, green and yellow panel which used to be a table runner. I added the four green triangles (used to be placemats) to the odd shaped piece to make it a rectangle. I found the hydrangea fabric in my stash but did not have quite enough to make a strip on each side to get the length I needed so I added two little pieces of green in the centers which worked quite well. I used a thin cotton batting and a nice coordinating cotton on the back. I added quilting lines in the green line and the brown line in the pattern and in the ditch of the center seam. I found the dark pink in my stash and had enough to make the binding. I did the one fold binding again but did not get the corners quite right - they are rounded instead of square. I will have to print the directions and put them in my quilting box. I added lines of wavy decorative stitching to the binding and the green triangles. This is my favorite colour combination and I am really happy with how it worked out. I am enjoying playing with panels and pieces. I have several others in my future quilting box which will appear as time permits!!
