I would LOVE to purchase the panels with the shoes on them. I would probably be willing to pay something ridiculous because my sister is a HUGE shoe lover and I would love to make her this quilt. DO you have an estimation of when this may actually happen??
ALso, have you thought about offering both? Applique or paper piecing and the panels? That one people that are suited for the applique or paper piecing could use that as a cheaper alternative and the others (like me) could use the panels?
