Piecing with Patriotic Panels
fons & porter's love of quilting

No two fabric panels are manufactured the same, so how do you adapt a quilt pattern to work with the panel YOU have? Lori Thompson, executive director, of the Quilts of Valor Foundation, joins us to explain why quilt panels are so popular with veterans, and how you can make simple adjustments to make the measurements work. You'll hear tips about selecting fabrics to coordinate with your panel, when and how to miter strips, and how to make ever-useful Sawtooth Star blocks that can be swapped into most any design.
