Panel Mash-Up Book GE-525

Gudrun Erla and Doug Leko teaming up on this was such a good idea. The section on turning one panel into a full-size quilt finally got me using the stack I'd been hoarding. Layout photos are clear enough that I didn't have to reread any steps.

I never knew what to do with novelty panels besides framing them, but the layout ideas here finally got me cutting into one. The step-by-step diagrams for trimming and squaring up are worth the price alone.

I've got a drawer full of panels I was too scared to cut into, and the mash-up layouts here finally gave me a plan I could actually follow. The step-by-step diagrams for mixing panel blocks with yardage are ridiculously clear, even for someone who's only been quilting a year.
