Cherry Nectar Panel Border

Where elegance blooms and moonlight lingers, Cherry Nectar Panel Border transforms your favorite fabric panel into a breathtaking work of art. Designed by Judy and Brad Niemeyer, this exquisite foundation paper pieced border frames your chosen panel with graceful cherry blossom blocks at each corner and bold flying geese cascading along the sides — every element as delicate and striking as the panels it was made to showcase.

The border is adjustable to fit one of three panel finish sizes — 36×44, 30×44, and 24×44 — making it compatible with a wide variety of panels from multiple fabric companies.

Panel Size: 36″ x 44″ | Finished Size: Width-60″ x Length-68″
Panel Size: 30″ x 44″ | Finished Size: Width-54″ x Length-68″
Panel Size: 24″ x 44″ | Finished Size: Width-48″ x Length-68″

Whether you’re showcasing a moonlit fairy resting beside a crescent moon, a garden of luminous blooms, or any panel that speaks to your heart, Cherry Nectar is the border that sets it apart — making the extraordinary even more so.

The cover quilt pairs beautifully with the Lumiere Fairy Panel 24″ from Timeless Treasures’ Lumiere collection, surrounded by fabrics from their ColorStock Collection designed by Judy and Judel Niemeyer — deep navy grounds, brilliant royal and powder blues, and a crisp white that lets every pieced element shine like stars against a midnight sky. The result is a quilt that feels like it was pulled straight from a midsummer dream.

Cherry Nectar was the featured FREE project for Box Program subscribers in the second quarter of 2026 in a gorgeous hummingbird colorway — and now it’s available for everyone to enjoy. An online demonstration is coming soon, walking you through exactly how this border comes together, making it a wonderful starting point whether you’re new to Judy Niemeyer-style paper piecing or an experienced quilter ready to give a beloved panel its perfect frame.

Replacement Papers are available for those who want to border more than one favorite panel — because once you discover how beautifully this border elevates a panel, you’ll want to pull every stunning piece from your stash and give it the treatment it deserves. Stock your sewing room with the notions you’ll need: glue sticks, repositionable glue, fold templates, rotary cutters, fresh needles, and your favorite rulers.

Cherry Nectar pairs beautifully with any panel that carries mystery, romance, or wonder — from enchanted gardens and celestial scenes to wildlife, holiday, scenic, and inspirational prints. Display it proudly on a bed or hang it as a wall piece — either way, it brings a touch of the extraordinary into your everyday space.
