In early Dec. I posted a picture of the soft book panel I found at Hobby Lobby. I thought I might be able to make a quilt out of the panel. Well, I did and I smile just looking at it...it is just so cute I think. It is for my 70 yr. old aunt that collects anything with mice on it. What do you think? I just used the blocks that spelled C H R I S T M A S. First gift made for Christmas 2011.

This is the quilt I made from the above.

Here is a close up. It has four borders, white, red, green and blue.

Thank you so much for posting this. I also have a book similar to this and was wondering what to do with it. Now I know. Only hope mine turns out half as nice as yours.
