    You've got my mind spinning. This sounds like such fun and I would have a hard time picking just one song. I love music and listen to my iPod as I quilt. With over 600 songs on my device it would be tough to choose. If your in to music, choose your favorite artist and see what titles give you inspiration.

    Let It Snow--snowman and flakes

    Kinda out of the box thinking--but a white whole cloth using winter-time motifs. Call it White Christmas

    Many years ago, we had the same challenge in my guild. I made an all ivory crazy quilt (I used laces, satin, velvet, etc.), scrapbook doodads and Barbie clothes. Can you guess the song? "The Wedding March". My gown was ivory colored. As a label on the back, I included my DH and my wedding photo. I will try and post a photo if I can. This can be a fun challenge. Many, many great songs/music out there!

    Ellvis' Love Me Tender. The first few notes are the ones shown on the gate at Elvis' residence. You could maybe applique those musical notes.

    My first thought went to a Christmas song, my favorite time of the year! We Three Kings...We Wish You A Merry Christmas, Frosty the Snowman...and so on. Good luck on choosing and have fun!

    Last year, at the Palm Springs Mancuso quilt show, I saw a huge exhibit of quilts/wallhangings inspired by the Beatles songs. They were extremely creative. Many of them used fun embellishments. I would do a search on Beatles quilts for inspiration.

    I was thinking along the lines of "One Eyed, One Horn, Flying Purple People Eater". Or "Ally Oop!"
