I really like your EQ idea!

Seeing as how you are into books...how about using your found quilt in the middle, then build outwards using pictures/dustjacket prints of your favourite childhood stories. Let us know what you decide, it's a real little treasure.

I would leave it as is as much as possible....What a great memory that must be! :thumbup:

I love the idea working it into the center of a quilt - kind of symbolic of how you started - and grew as a quilter from there. How special!

I like the quilt design. However, I think I would make it into a wall hanging so that I could be reminded of how far I have come as a quilter/sewer and how much better I am yet to be.

What about making it into a table runner? That's what I would do with it.

Actually, I think its cute. Keep looking at it and you will come up with something. I think just putting on a border or 2 and stop there.

I like the idea of framing it just as it is. what a wonderful find!

Just look at the inspiration you first effort has already given you. Plus it connected you to all these other quilters as they offered suggestions of how to best honor those first stitches you made as a young girl. It certainly deserves a place on honor...either alone, framed on the wall with the story of it's birth inscribed or as the center of a new, more experienced quilted piece of some sort. Honoring our past, our history somehow makes us appreciate where we are a little more. Love the EQ you came up with. Think you should make that one as a contrast to the inspiration from you first one. Good luck.

That was my suggestion. Frame it and hang it for all to see.
