Do you have a stash full of panels because you’re not quite sure what to do with them?
Or maybe you don’t buy panels at all—but secretly want to?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, this class is for you! 🧵❤️

🧵 What You’ll Learn:
Forget adding border after border just to make your panel bigger! Instead, you’ll learn how to:

- 🎨 Choose colours and plan your design
- 🧩 Incorporate pieced blocks to complement your fabric
- 📐 Create an asymmetrical layout with deliberate block placement

The featured design combines a beautiful panel with Irish Chain blocks, creating a unique and eye-catching quilt top with lots of personality!
