I do not applique, or paint, but would love the preprinted blocks. Thank you.

I would LOVE to purchase the panels with the shoes on them. I would probably be willing to pay something ridiculous because my sister is a HUGE shoe lover and I would love to make her this quilt. DO you have an estimation of when this may actually happen??

ALso, have you thought about offering both? Applique or paper piecing and the panels? That one people that are suited for the applique or paper piecing could use that as a cheaper alternative and the others (like me) could use the panels?

Even applique patterns would do better in my opinion.

Just to clarify, I was not talking about computer generated fabric sheets with the shoe design. I was talking about 40" fabric, with the nine shoes on a yard. That is what I am trying to determine a price for.... so far it looks like there is very little interest in the 12" blocks...more interest in applique pattern which in my opinion would look nothing like my Head over Heels quilt.
Keep your thoughts coming; it's very helpful to me.

I would say that I would be willing to pay anywhere from $10 to $20. I am INTERESTED!!!! :) Extremely!! :)

Thanks so much for "getting it"!!

:D Well since I have girls that would just flip over these shoes....I would pay whatever for a panel. :-) I REALLY loved seeing yours completed. And to have them so that all I needed to do is add sashing and embellish would be a dream for me!!! Please contact me in case I fail to see a post, as to how you decide to do this! I def. want in on this. Thank You so much. :thumbup:

I do not applique or know how to paper piece. I would definitely pay a fair price for your talent and hard work if you sold printed fabric in 9 or 12 inch blocks. Please contact me via Private email in case I miss your post. Thank you.
