I found a great way to use letters in a quilt. It's easier then applique or fusing and looks great. I saw a demo at Paducah several years ago where MS Word was used to make the letters but then found a book called Fat Quarter Fonts that made it much simpler because a cd was included with the book that had the software to make all the letter and numbers upper and lower case any size you wanted. It's so easy my 10 year old niece was using the method to make all kinds of appliqué blocks using pictures from a coloring book.
