That's so cute. Thanks for the good idea, I'm going to borrow it too!
|
Oh I love it!!! It brings back such happy childhood memories. Lucky baby! I know what you mean about panels, sometimes they are hard to work with and have very little wiggle room on the edges. Very clever quilt, nice job!
|
Oh my this is so sweet
|
I have looked at that fabric several times. It brings back such warm memories of my own childhood. Good job.
|
How adorable! Creative and unique -- love it!
|
that is so cute and will be so much appreciated... you did a great job... i have made quillows out of the books but never tried a quilt... i made them for all my grandkids on year on each of their birthdays.. they loved them too..
|
Very Creative... It's darling.
|
Love it love it, this was my children's (they are in their 50's now) favorite book. Where can I find this fabric??
|
Ditto to all that has been said. This is about the cutest baby quilt I have seen. You are so clever. Thanks so much for sharing. BrendaK
|
Very cute baby quilt.
|
that is soooo cute. what a nice gift.
|
that is too precious.......love the coordinating fabrics you used as well. Gives me some ideas:confused:
|
That is really cute....
|
How darling - I will be making a baby boy quilt in the next few weeks and still haven't found the perfect pattern. I love your blocks!
|
I am so stealing this idea!! I have these panels & some of the matching fabric that looks like the inside cover of the Golden books. thi swas my favorite book when I was little...and with our first great grandchild on the way...this will work perfectly! if it's a boy, I'll also steal your color combo...and if a girl...I' substitute the blue for pink!
I bought the fabric for me...but I think this will give it even more special meaning...having it for a great grandbaby! Thanks for the great idea!

I had a college intern working for me this summer and she is expecting a little boy in September. I made her a simple Warm Wishes quilt using the Pokey Little Puppy fabric panel that was meant to make a fabric book. It was one of the Little Golden Books fabric releases to celebrate the 65th anniversary of these books. I used the cover and the 12 pages from the book. There was a page with the classic "This Little Golden Book Belongs to" and I embroidered the baby's name there for the back quilt label. I included a copy of the actual book with the quilt, along with a few other books.
One thing I've found in working with panels is that they are not always straight, and cutting even blocks can be challenging. It can get worse if you prewash/dry. Although I always prewash my fabric, I did not for this panel. I carefully squared up each block and then washed the final quilt with a color catcher. |
An adorable quilt that will make the new mom and baby very happy! Love the way you used the "book belongs to" page! Great job!
|
Love the quilt, what a great idea. I have made lots of the fabric books, never thought of making a quilt from them.
|
Thank you all for your kind comments. Apparently I'm not the only one who loved Little Golden Books!
Quilting Jaguar, I ordered the panel from Fabric.com http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail....9-44bf8bb1fb9a It is available on some other sites if you do a Google search. I think this panel, as well as Saggy Baggy Elephant, Shy Little Kitten and a few others were also released last year. There are some coordinating fabrics as well, but I didn't order any, instead using some things from my stash. |
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Have you noticed how many comments are along the lines of wanting to make a quilt just like yours? Well, me too since there are 2 great grands in the near future and I know that the mommas would just love one like yours.
|
that's adorable!
|
Oh how cute. I just love the Pokey Little Puppy and so will the new baby.
|
This is just adorable! I have new ggnephew to be born in Oct..I think this is a perfect idea! Thanks for posting!
|
It's very cute!!
|
I love your quilt! I also made a baby quilt from a preprinted book - it was a Beatrix potter book - and I really liked the result. You're right tho........it's a bit tricky squaring up, but it is doable.
|
Just adorable, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
Love this.
|
Great quilt! Love the idea of giving the book along with the quilt.
|
Such a cute idea. I really like the "Warm Wishes" pattern.
|
Too cute!!!!!
|
I love it!
|
Great way to re-purpose a book. I love these! Nicely done too.l

Pokey Little Puppy has a soft spot in my heart since my daughter named our first dog after that book. She didn't look a thing like the dog in the book but she was the best dog ever. Pokey Little Puppy warms my heart, too. My DS had a record that read along with the book & I can still hear him "reading" along with the narrator. "Where in the world is that Pokey Little Puppy? Where in the world is he? Where in the world is that Pokey Little Puppy? I wonder where that puppy could be?" |
That's an inspired idea-I love the quilt! The book and the quilt together will make for some nice quiet times.

When I saw your cute quilt I thought I have to find that material so went on ebay and there was one panel up for sale. Long story short waiting on it to arrive. Have new gr granddaughter born a week ago in Alaska where the kids are stationed. My children were raised on Pokey Puppy, now I can pass that on to my great. Thank you for sharing so I can also share. Marge in FL
