Let's add some 4 patch blocks to a quilt panel to create fun and easy borders. Using a panel might be called cheating, but the results are so cute that I don't mind if I have to break the rules. Sometimes you just need something quick and simple and this panel quilt is just the ticket. Hobby Lobby had some adorable fall panels and I am going to use one in this tutorial to show how easy it is to create a great quilt with some old school 4 patch blocks on the border.
