I basically just drew the letters on paper, adding the circles because that's the style of lettering in the panel. Traced them onto the fusible web (have to admit a made a couple of mistakes, resulting in backwards letters), fused the web to the brown fabric, cut them out, then fused the letters to the background green. I used a machine zigzag to firmly attach them to the quilt.

This is pretty much the same method I used for Blue (and Blue's clue :-) ). But Blue took me most of a day, counting the search online for the most appropriate Blue, resizing her to fit the block, cutting all the pieces (including her spots, nose, tongue). I used a sigma pen to outline her eyes but her irises are stitched in (satin stitch).
