Quilt Panel Magic: 15 Projects with a Creative Twist is the third book from Cyndi McChesney, published by C&T Publishing. It's all about getting more from fabric panels. The 15 step-by-step projects show you how to build both full-size quilts and smaller projects around any type of panel, using customizable blocks, colorways, and popular themes.
Because the patterns are written to work with the panel of your choice, the book stays useful long after the first project. A favorite seasonal scene, wildlife panel, or holiday print you've been saving can become the center of a bed quilt, a wall hanging, or a table topper, framed with pieced blocks that make it look custom. The cover quilt, a fall pumpkin and floral panel surrounded by vibrant patchwork, shows the kind of results you can expect.
C&T rates the projects for adventurous beginners, and the instructions are clear and step-by-step. The softcover book has 128 full-color pages, measures 8.5" x 11", and was published June 30, 2026. Pair it with Building Quilts With Panels by Scott A. Flanagan for even more panel inspiration.
