Quilts and books can go together!
 

I have made two identical quilts for Xmas for our granddaughters. One lives in Canada and the other in the U. S. I started with a panel in the centre and used other parts of that panel for one of the bottom borders. As a retired teacher, I always loved books written by Eric Carle and want the girls to enjoy them too. I was able to find pretty good fabrics for the grass border and ladybug spot fabrics. Of course, the matching Eric Carle books will be given with the quilts. Such fun!!!!!!!!!! The quilts are cuddle size - 46" x 52" so I'm hoping they will enjoy cuddling up and reading! Thanks for looking!

Your GD will love this quilt ,nice design. Thanks for sharing.

Adorable. I also try to give my grandchildren books. They are going to love these gifts. BrendaK

great fabric....great quilt.

Love those! and we always love Eric Carle too. Both my sons an my grandson loved his books and the quilt will be a real keepsake for each child!

Adorable quilt. So bright and cheerful and of course, coupled with the books it's a wonderful gift.

Great idea, beautiful results! You're a great grandma, too.

what a wonderful idea of a book and quilt to match as gifts. Sure to be treasured! Might use this idea for future gifts, thanks!

This is a great idea for a child's quilt. Nicely done.

Every year I make kid's quilts for Santa's Helpers and include a stuffed animal and book. I feel it may encourage kids to read - so important.

Your granddaughters will absolutely love their quilts and the books

Eric Carle is my favorite kids' author. I love The Very Hungry Caterpillar the best. I read his books over and over again to my kids when they were young. I really like your quilt and was hoping that you would be giving the book with the same Carle theme to the granddaughters also. And you are! Yay! My three kids all turned out to be voracious readers due to all the book reading I did to them from the moment they could sit up. Thanks for showing this great kid's quilt!

Lovely quilt. I'm sure they will love them.

Very cute!

Brilliant idea! Such a pretty quilt. Yes, you did find perfect coordinating fabrics, too!

Great idea, love how you brought it to life. You should sent a copy of that picture to the publishers who will forward it to the author! Unique and lovely job, both girls should love and treasure it for a long time to come. (My librarian mind doesn't seem to retire, memories of having students contact the author and enjoying the experiences...is still an active mind, I guess)

That is darling. I know they will be loved.

That is just adorable. I like the idea.

Great quilts--love the idea of a book going with a quilt.

Adorable quilt. Your granddaughters are going to be thrilled!

Gifts to be treasured for a very long time. Nicely done and thought out.

Very nice. Your granddaughters will love them!

Adorable and very clever!!!
