Here’s another panel I quilted and embellished with thread. Both my friend and my husband urge me to buy panels, but I always have a hard time figuring out how to quilt them. This is a wall hanging. I may keep this one since it took many hours of quilting.
I’m not sure if quilting keeps me out of trouble, or if it gets me into it.

You are keeping it? But it’s got butterflies 🦋 it’s absolutely incredibly beautiful. Well done 👏
Ha! What was I thinking?
That is so gorgeous! 🌻🌿🍃🌼🌺 You are very good at that!
I have been looking for a new quilt with either flowers 🌺🌼🌻, insects 🦋🐝🐞🦋🐜🦟🕷and/or birds 🦆🦅🦜🦢🕊on it, and with a black or darkish green background. Sunflowers 🌻 and zinnias would be great because they are what I planted in my garden! Most quilts have a lighter background and I do not want that.
I tend to love the black or dark backgrounds to make the lighter colors really stand out, too.
Positively stunning!!! I wouldn’t part with it.
Quilting keeps you out of trouble or gets you into it? Either way, this forum certainly benefits from your mischievousness! Well done, greaterexp

Beautiful...if you don’t mind sharing...what are panels? Where do you find them and what did you do piece quilt, it’s beautiful and lots of hardwork there! Keep for years to come! Great work!
A panel is a preprinted piece of fabric. So I did no piecing of small pieces to make this like I would for a traditional quilt. I merely quilted it, and did thread painting, which is taking different colored threads and quilting (sewing through the panel or front fabric, batting, and backing) to enhance what is already there.
Wow that is really beautiful work!
Absolutely gorgeous! You should keep it...too beautiful and too much work too give up!

This is a beautiful work of art! Absolutely gorgeous.
Lovely! You have more patience than I do!
I don't think so; I've seen your work!
Well, patience for sewing. I just LOOK at my sewing machine and the bobbin thread tangles!
I've started another picture for someone but it's taking a long time since we're in a push working on our dining room.
Please post a picture of your art work when you're done!
Will do!
Simply elegant and life like. Looks better than my Iive plants. Well done
Beautiful. I think quilting does both keep you out of trouble & gets you into trouble depending on if you calculated the correct amount of yardage & which step you are on.🤓
Beautiful,love sunflowers.
