I also ordered this extremely adorable panel called City Construction:
I cannot wait to get started on projects using both panels. A family member recently saw my "Save the Day" quilt and asked if I would make similar quilts for her two young boys. She was quick to point out that each boy would need something almost identical (a slight difference so they would know without a doubt which one belong to which child). Her first request was for the Save the Day quilt, but I realized that I would likely not be able to replicate the fabrics easily, so I decided that it would be better to start from scratch so that neither boy had a "better" quilt or a "more super" superhero. Of course I have a lot of projects going on so it will be a while before I get to these, but they are such fun!
As far as the ahoy fabric, your guess is as good as mine how I will use that one. I saw it online and I love it. It is a stretch for me since I do not typically start with a panel, but rather just layer the fabrics in an appliqué fashion. So maybe I will just let the design stand and play with some more intricate free motion stitches. That is where I could really use some work and practice so that might be the perfect piece to use.
Until next time, keep sewing.
