I think flying geese and checkerboards would compliment the theme. Also using the larger picture for the center and adding blocks that have kind of a farm theme name between the other pictures (example the block called weathervane). Look in quilterscache.com for more.

I bought the kit, it made a nice lap quilt. Gave it to my MIL for her birthday and Mother's day in May. The white farmhouse w/tractor looks like the house my hubby grew up in. She loves it. Sorry the pic is on hubby's computer.
I agree, use the large panel and add borders. Use the four smaller pieces as corner stones. Just watch to see if it is all printed straight. Mine was not and I had to add borders to the 4 small ones then cut them square from that. (They look rather like "wonky" blocks).
Good luck.

It would suit my husband very well!!! farmboy thru and thru!!! and he loves TRACTORS, old and new!!

What about a barn red strip around the panel, then a four-patch strip around that in yellow (like hay) and green and then either a black or dark brown border around that? Just an idea. That is a really pretty panel.

I love it but I have no idea what to put with it but I would think something simple to not take away from the panel.
