    I did the Loralei women shopping with and for their dogs. I put a neutral colored block between each block of the panel and then wrote the words to "How Much is That Doggy in the Window?" I would attach a picture, but the quilt is packed as we prepare to move out of state. I have another panel from Loralei that I do not plan to cut apart, but add fancy dan borders. froggyintexa

    I would definitely cut them apart and add clever sashings in black, white and red. That is really cute fabric.

    Same thought. Here is the post:

    I also have some of her designs but haven't decided what to make from them.

    I would use each block as the center of a log cabin, sort of a distorted log cabin because you'd be making rectangular blocks instead of square blocks.

    Loved the Bee Happy Quilt and also the Pinterest quilts using the same theme of fabric. My blocks are usually a little wonky, so wonky borders might be the way to go. I'll keep you posted.

    Thanks

    Darling fabric. Looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with it.

    Not sure how much fabric you have, but I'd be tempted to save a panel or two to showcase on a sewing machine cover. Or covers, if you have a collection of machines.

    I like the sewing machine cover idea. You could use some for mug rugs or you could do a tote. Would be a great conversation piece when shopping!!!
