First thing that popped into my mind was "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

Under the Boardwalk. Having just been to the beach that would be a good one!

My goodness there would be just a zillion choices so many that would make a darling quilt. I went to the site and checked the date I married- doesn't go back far enough for my BD lol. On that list I saw Chubby Checker's song "Let's Twist Again" if you have a tool for that. Brought back so many memories of wonderful older songs. Also if you wanted a Religious theme, "The Old Rugged Cross" .What a wonderful challenge quilt. When you post your picture, if you have the room would love to see some of your groups challenge quilts. Do you list the song you choose or your quilt or does everyone have to guess?
Someone would have to list "Teddy Bear's Picnic" couldn't say how often that crazy song runs through my mind when I remember something from childhood. We didn't have TV back then and everyone listened to the radio, and our special program "Big John and Sparky" bring back memories anyone?

Don't let the stars get in your eyes

"Oklahoma" would be an easy one. Just spell out the words in different colors, and maybe make oil wells out of felt, attach, and the same for wheat and cattle.
Maybe use fabric crayons to color in where there is still White.
Look up on the internet the songs from that stage play; can't think right now.
Good luck! Mariah

What a fun thread!

Oh, what fun! I may have to suggest this to my quilting bee. Let's see . . . These come to mind:
"Route 66"
"Yellow Rose of Texas"
"Satin Doll" (you could do a Sunbonnet Sue in a satin dress and bonnet)
"Oklahoma"
"Surrey with the Fringe on Top"
"Moon over Miami" (you could have the sky line of the city with a small "Welcome to Miami" sign in the front)
"On the Road Again"
"Rock Around the Clock"
"Heartbreak Hotel"

I am officially in love with Christopher Maloney - will definitely be buying his cd! After I finish reading QB of course!

I see you have already chosen your song, but I just want to say that the first song that came to my head was: Peter, Paul and Mary's "Lemon tree very pretty and the flowers are so sweet, but the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat."
Some of the words may be wrong, but that has been going through my head for the last month.
