On the design wall today is a surprise find!
I have been digging around in old scrap bins and bags, finding just the right scraps to put into my Quiltville mystery, and I found this lovely swan in one of the bins. This is an old round robin project that pre-dates my 16+ years of blogging!
I do know that this was a round robin project of some sort because I did not add the other borders. I'm certain of this because I always trim the threads as I sew. I don't like having a thready mess on the back of a project I am working on.
My first step will be to trim the threads and remove the paper from the back of the project.
But I don't know what to do with it next. Should I finish it as a wall hanging or table topper, or should I add borders to it and turn it into a lap quilt?
What would you do?

it's gorgeous no matter the final choice...and i recognize those colors...LOL
I remember this 'Panache' project. Since it has sat for so long, I would finish it up as is for a wallhanging.
Fun to find something like this, like a time capsule, LOL!
First thing that comes to my mind is do you have enough of any of those fabrics or similar enough to make it into a lap quilt? A lot of today's fabrics are clearer and brighter colors.
So pretty. Personally, I would add more borders if I could find fabric that went with it. But it will be beautiful either way.
It is lovely. As it is probably difficult to find matching colors, I would make it into a wall hanging, I guess.
I would finish it as it is. Could be a table topper or a wall quilt. I like finding treasures in the stash and finishing them! Hugs, Judy
