Gift in a Hurry

If you ever need a gift in a hurry or just like changing out a wall hanging with the seasons be sure and consider a panel as a starting point.  They used to be called "cheaters" but I don't believe that anymore, they are just quick quilts.  

You can take a panel like this one and just add a couple of borders for a quick seasonal wall hanging

or you can get fancy and add many pieced borders or blocks to make it more elaborate.  Piano keys or checkerboards are always a good addition to a panel quilt.
