very nice idea.
I got the gingerbread house from Urban Threads n sale for $1.50
it's 3d stand up about 4" x 3 1/2" x 4". it's done on ultra Solvy.
Getting a jump on next year too.
Please show us when it's done.

I think you would go to a whole lot of work to sew the embroidery and would be VERY unhappy with the results if you cut the embroidery and sew it into an attic window quilt. It would chop your design all up in an unsatisfactory manner.

You would be sewing the embroidery in blocks....so you would not cut the embroidered blocks....just join them attic window style. I agree the sashing may distort the design and not be happy can you enlarge the picture on this site and cut it apart before you purchase the design?

To avoid distortion, you could stitch the blocks together then applique the sashing over the "panel" avoiding going over faces, and important portions. I did this on a panel, but it was much smaller than this would be. I used narrow sashing strips. It worked out pretty well.

I have embroidered many of Anita Goodesign's wall hangings. They are heavy but beautiful. If it were me I'd embroider the "C" size, it would be 34" wide x 24" tall. Then as a few borders to it and bind it. It would be a lap quilt instead of a bed quilt. The scene is kind of busy and I think an attic quilt would be too much and the scene would be distorted.

I think turning it into an attic window would probably not work but hope to see the posted results of how it worked for you. I just got the "Night Before Christmas" design by OESD and am stating 2016 gifts too.
