Quilting with Panels and Patchwork - Book

Turn fabric panels into stunning, one-of-a-kind quilts with confidence and creativity!

Quilting with Panels and Patchwork by Shannon Arnstein is an inspiring and practical guide for quilters who want to move beyond simply framing a panel and instead create quilts with depth, balance, and modern design appeal. This book shows you how to thoughtfully combine quilt panels with patchwork blocks, borders, and creative settings to produce quilts that feel intentional, cohesive, and beautifully finished.

Inside, you’ll explore 12 panel-focused quilt projects that demonstrate a wide range of layout possibilities—from bold statement quilts to softer, more traditional designs. Each project highlights how panels can work in harmony with pieced blocks, half-square triangles, borders, and sashing to elevate the final quilt.

Shannon begins with a clear overview of what quilt panels are and how to work with them, including how to square panels accurately, adjust for challenging measurements, and plan layouts that complement the artwork. She also shares valuable guidance on fabric selection, color coordination, and choosing quilting designs that enhance—not overpower—your panel.

Clear step-by-step instructions, full-color photography, and helpful tips throughout the book make this an approachable resource for confident beginners while still offering plenty of inspiration and insight for experienced quilters.

Whether you’re working with seasonal panels, novelty prints, or artistic fabric designs, Quilting with Panels and Patchwork will help you transform panels into quilts you’ll be proud to display and gift.
