I just bought two of these panels from Hobby Lobby, after Christmas sale. It was so detailed and cute! I thought about using it as quilt blocks, rather than making the book. Love to see yours already made! Thanks for the inspiration.

OMG Char! I bought the same panel (on clearance, of course) with the same intention! Nice work. Helps me to see options for doing it. I hadn't figured out yet that the 9 letters would work so well. I was trying to decide if I would use the front and back covers, so now I know! Thanks for the inspiration. Happy New Year! Penny in Kalmazoo

I have one panel that I just didn't know what to do with.....now I know. I love your idea. Your quilt is really cute.

Thank you for posting your quilt. It looks very nice.

I recently found an old panel of a baby book and thought about doing what you did with yours. Now I have your example.

Love you color selection for your borders. :-D

I just used the blocks that spelled C H R I S T M A S. First gift made for Christmas 2011.

Beautiful! Your mitered corners are perfect , I'm sure your Aunt will love it. You inspire me to get started on Christmas projects now. :thumbup: :thumbup:
