I just love this panel! It was hard to choose which part of the panel I wanted to use for my project! In the end I decided to use the top panel. I wanted the panel to be the star of the show and so I decided to just add some simple borders to the panel!
It's hard to see in this picture - but I quilted around each state! I didn't want my quilting to go over the abbreviations of each state!
I finished it up with a scrappy binding! This fun mini quilt would be such a fun gift for a teacher! Wouldn't' this be great in a classroom?
Alright, let's get started!
1 Born in the USA bundle
