Panel Challenge Winners!
Posted on May 10, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in ChallengesThe voting is over, and WOW! was it ever tough!
I’m amazed at the quality of all the entries, the clever ideas for using a panel, and the creativity shown in all the projects. I really appreciate all of you that jumped in with me and entered. It grew way beyond my expectations. We may have to do something like this again!
And now, for the winners . . . drum roll, please!
Honorable mention: Shirley Guier
Shirley Guier: North to Alaska
Shirley said she got this panel on a trip to Alaska. The cool color palette framed by the blocks that bring to mind cold water and ice crystals make this a fabulous finished quilt.
Shirley wins a $10 gift certificate to Victoria Findlay Wolfe’s online store. (She just came out with a new exclusive fabric collection, so it’s a good time to shop there!)
Third prize: Pam Martin
Pam Martin: Eagle Panel
Pam’s amazing extension of the flag with piecing is probably what won everyone’s heart — so clever! Pam wins a $15 gift certificate to Fat Quarter Shop online.
Second prize: Vicki’s Crafts & Quilting
Vicki’s Crafts & Quilting: Harvest Puzzle
This must have been a super fun panel to work with. Vicki’s simple piecing and sweet layout make it a winner for sure. Vicki wins a $25 gift certificate to Missouri Star Quilt Company online.
And First prize goes to: Klonda Holt
Klonda Holt: Herman Has Come Calling
Surrounding the panel with strategically placed kaleidoscope blocks is a fantastic idea by itself — but that bird! Herman is simply regal! Klonda wins the $35 gift certificate to Needle and Foot! Thanks so much to Bernie for sponsoring this prize.
And that’s a wrap! It was fun. Thanks to all the entrants and to those who took the time to vote. I hope everyone got some good ideas for projects that can be done with panels.
Keep your eyes peeled for some more fun in the future!
