From Henry Glass Fabrics come another archived project that uses panels and border fabrics in an interesting way.
This time there is a large panel in the centre and fabric with a border stripe used for (surprise surprise) the borders BUT the most interesting thing is the two sizes of the same pieced block - one used for the inner border, the other used for the outer cornerstones, reversal of the colourway means they are similar in look but not the same.
Another archived quilt by Henry Glass Fabrics
Start with a large panel. Add some strip borders that are mitred - then a pieced border using pinwheels and square on point, then some more mitred borders for good measure.
Adapt for your own panels or fabric too pretty to cut!
Appliqued daisies alternate with low volume courthouse steps blocks in this quilt from Henry Glass Fabrics.

Henry Glass Fabrics have a large collection of current and archived projects to download and this pattern comes from there. However not all the projects have instructions - some are fabric requirements only and you have to go to another site to buy the pattern.
This is one that does have the pdf for download here
The quilt is unusual in that it uses two blocks - one based upon a 3x3 grid the other on a 4x4 grid - and instead of making the blocks the same size 1 1/4" coping strips are used on the 4x4 blocks to make them the same size as the 3x3 blocks so there is no need for sashing. Four fabric strips then make up the border.
This one is from Liberty Fabrics
Lots of square sewn together for the fruit - very tempting to strip sew this one instead! The finished project is 57x70". The leaf border is cute and could be used elsewhere as well....

Make this runner to cut your teeth on this block- it looks much more impressive set edge to edge in a quilt where you'll see how it got it's name.
