I still haven't figured out what the crop in the spring section is supposed to be. Definitely not spring in the Midwest.
I purchased the panel because I wanted the tractors, they look exactly like my father's old JD 6/20.
I used 2" strips pulled from the 2" strip box to make the log cabin blocks.
When I saw this fabric at the store, I bought it immediately, I knew it would be perfect for this quilt!
An overall medium/large stippling was used for the quilting. This quilt is going to be gifted to a 12 year old boy. No fancy custom quilting necessary.

You really brought that panel to life!! And just look at all the wonderful scraps put to good use.
What an awesome quilt, he will love it!!
Hi Gretchen! WOW this quilt turned out lovely. I am impressed with how nicely those panel pieces turned out. You would never know! I agree that the plaid didn't really enhance them in any way. I think my favorite parts are the small little squares and the leaves in between. It is gorgeous. Thank you for linking up today. ~smile~ Roseanne
Awesome quilt! I love working with panels and your idea worked out very well.
Fantastic way to completely change and use the focus of the panel. He will cherish it for life.
That turned out beautifully, Gretchen! You would never know it was the same panel!
Don't you love it when an idea comes together and works? That's a really nice quilt.
Fabulous quilt! Those log cabin blocks are great.
Hi,
Beautiful quilt...love all the pretty
colors..have a great day!
What a fabulous quilt! I, too, had seen that fabric and passed it up because I could not see how to use that panel. Plus I know no one who had a tractor. On Grandpa's 7 acre farm we did all of it with a hoe, a weeder and a shovel. love those maple blocks and log cabins. The stripe fabric is the icing on the cake. Thanks for sharing, Gretchen. It was a treat.
What a lucky 12 year old boy! It's beautiful. (I'm glad you cut away that green plaid :p)
Hoorah! A big finish! Looks great!!
Another beauty Gretchen! You did great on working around the panel. Hugs
It's huge. I love it, all the autumn colors.
What a great quilt you have designed from a simple panel. I am glad you made it 4 separate blocks... the maple leaf layout is great and the log cabins are great... Love the striped binding... and the sunflower fabric you used too :) You have a fun stash to dig from :D The quilting is perfect! Kathi
I still can't quite get over how you transformed a humble panel into this spectacular quilt. It's incredible!!!
Love how this turned out! You did a great job surrounding those panels with a wonderful design
That panel sure isn't very attractive but what you chose to do with it is amazing. Such a beautiful finish. Thank you for sharing in Put your foot down.
you turned an awful panel into a lovely quilt!
Wow, you really elevated that panel!
This is an amazing quilt! It's a triumph of design and color. For the record, I like the tractors (we love John Deere around here).
Great combination of blocks to highlight those panels. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
What a wonderful way to use that panel! I'm sure it will be loved.
Very creative! Love the setting.
You finished this perfectly! I love how you framed the panels. The log cabin blocks are perfection. Great job! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
Wonderful, you have made the tractor panel into a work of art!
That panel was average by any standard, but your finished quilt is totally amazing! The leaves are great and I love the setting into the log cabins. One very lucky 12 yo. Thanks for linking up with the Chameleon's Colour & Inspiration Tuesday. :)
