Default Quilting with cross stitch, vintage style - yes? no?

So I'm trying to get back into sewing and it's going s l o w , but I did finish a little cross stitch yesterday and remembered how I used to combine cross stitch into wall hangings and small quilts, so I thought I might try that again.

I recently came across this book at JoAnn's - Fables & Fairy Tales to Cross Stitch: French Charm for Your Stitchwork by Veronique Engingeer (if link doesn't work) - which gave me the idea. I would most likely make them as baby or small quilts for donation to hospitals or nursing homes. Or maybe make cloth dolls with a little cross stitch apron - would probably be less time-consuming and who wouldn't like a friend? I may just be thinking out loud, but the idea is appealing and I'm searching for something useful to do when I retire in year or two.

What do you think?
