So for my dad's 80th Christmas, I couldn't resist buying the Pokey Puppy fabric and making a quilt for him. If I posted correctly, you'll hopefully see a picture of him with his quilt!

Cindy made up several of the soft books, including Pokey Little Puppy, for our little grandson for Christmas. They're so cute!
Never thought of putting the pages into a quilt though.
Very clever! And it makes a really cute quilt! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Love it! I remember that book from my childhood, too, and just to make sure I wasn't confused, I looked it up - yes, there's a Wikipedia article on it! It came out in 1942. It's no wonder it's still popular. It's just wonderful that you had the idea to use it in this way for your dad.
