I like the "wonkiness" of the material. I agree with the "Where's Waldo?" type of educational aspect. I would use a solid border then finish as normal.

Just a comment on the backing. You are talking about a quilt for a 3 year old. I would not use anything light as it will show dirt, food, etc. I would take a color such as the red and back it with that.

That's really cute fabric. i think that I would use it as a center pannel. But if you could, I would cut out some of the letters of the name of the child & put it in a border.

I think it is cute as a panel and would also make a cute quilt if you used them individually. If you decide to cut them apart it might be fun to put the boy's name in the middle of the quilt.
|
just a thought you could possibly cut it up and spell his name if there are enough letters and that of maybe a pet or your name. Another idea into the mix
|
I would cut the blocks up or maybe 3-4 blocks,(letters) together and add sashing inbetween. I would use primary colors. Bright, bright colors.
|
I love the fabric, if it was me making this quilt I would find in my Ispy bin things that would go with A eg: A Apple B Bear make them into larger blocks of course you are going to end up with A larger quilt then I would use a bright multi strip fabric cut on the cross for the binding

I need help too. I can't find any Chicken blocks to make for my DH. We live on a very small farm and have even check out the local library 15 miles north but nothing to show color. I saw the chicken quilt t while back on here and have been looking ever since. Please help me if you can. Shirley Anne in Alger.

I think if you will not lose any of the lettering cut it up and add different color sashing to each block to make them all the same size. I have 1 of these panels and that is what I will be doing with it.
