I made a D&J quilt for the gal that works for me when she had her first grandbaby. After all, every grandma needs a quilt at her house. I used the panel with the pic and used other fabrics and made like a row quilt with squares, pinwheels, etc. Don't have a pic but it turned out very cute.

Those are great...and those were the books I used in first grade...

I made one a couple of years ago, putting a panel in the center. I will post a picture of it tomorrow.

Wow, that is beautiful! Did you purchase a pattern or is it something you found free on the internet?

Where's the link for the Ebay seller, please..?

At one time I used to collect Dick and Jane fabrics but used up all my stash.
Hobby Lobby has it sometimes, but it's like a needle in a haystack and I'm sure Hancock of Paducahs may have some too, but not the older prints.

Thanks!

I bought them from several different sellers, no one in particular.

Dick & Jane fabrics are part of the American Jane line put out by Sandy Klop who lives fairly locally. If you Google her you will find more of her fabrics and patterns.

I love D&J fabrics, too. I learned to read, like so many others my age, from the books. Later, when my granddaughter was struggling to learn to read, I tutored her using a reprint of a D&J that I bought at school. She loves the fabric, too, and picked out some on our last trip to the LQS. I just smiled and tossed it in with the other stuff. She'll play with it one afternoon, no doubt, when she comes for a weekend. She's 12, so I'm thrilled with anything at my house that piques her interest. She practically lived here on weekends, now she comes only when there's nothing better going on. Typical pre-teen angst!

I'll have to look into it. Would you be OK if I copied your fabric placement? I just love it.
