Holiday Panel Quilts and Runner!!

 Today I get to share lots of  fun quilting that I have been making for my friends at  Riley Blake Designs!!  Teresa Kogut is quickly becoming a favorite designer of mine!!  I just love her folksy, whimsical designs and cheerful holiday themes!  I have made quilts from her wonderful fabrics here, here, and here  So it is no surprise I was super excited to whip up some Panel quilts from her new fabric lines!!  

First up . . . Naughty or Nice!   This is a fun new Boxed Quilt Kit that is perfect for a quick Christmas Quilt :)   I just love Old World Santa!!   And this kit goes together super fast because you are just adding borders!!    I seriously made the whole thing in an hour, cutting included :)  



Yup, all of those tiny little stars that you are thinking you have to fussy cut . . . those are actually part of the panel :)  Such a smart idea to make it look like a pieced border so you get the look of all that piecing goodness without the actual piecing :)   And isn't the quilting Riley Blake did on this quilt top just so cute!!   This Naughty or Nice Quilt Kit finishes at 54" x 60" so it is a great throw size ; )



And we are not done with this whimsical Naughty or Nice fabric line yet!!   I also got to make this adorable Table Runner highlighting some of the main prints from the line.   You know me, I love some Star piecing, so this one was really enjoyable to make.   And because you are just making a table runner, the project, once again, came together super quick :)  


I think my favorite part was getting to fussy cut the old time Santa's for the center of the stars.  And as always, Riley Blake does such a great job at beautiful quilt photos!!  

And Teresa Kogut  also has a new Halloween line out this year called Ghoul Friends.  This is my kind of Halloween, more cutesy than scary ;)  And I am a little late posting this one and it is getting hard to find the kits . . . but you can still get the panel and whip up your own panel quilt ;)  


What really made this quilt fun to make is the added Star Applique!!   I don't know about you, but I find it so relaxing to secure stitch applique.  I just love it ;)  And it adds so much pop to the quilt, just so cute!!   And again, this is just the panel, a few borders, and some fun applique, so a quick project that came together oh so Cutesy Halloween!!  

So ya, 3 projects that were super fun to make!!!  I love how quick you can whip up an adorable panel quilt!!  And they make such wonderful gifts ;)  Have you worked with panels before . . . what are your thoughts on them??  

Pin It!

  1. Another really great quilting project. I have enjoyed sewing with panels and have used the smaller panels as the center of stars. With one of mine, I cut the stars in half and used them to create a border around the center panel. My Halloween panel is my outdoor flag/banner. So many possibilities with panels. Have a great week.
