I love the Yellow Brick Road pattern. What a great idea. I just happen to have books that were my kids and thought putting them into a quilt would be fun.

Here is a picture of a quilt I made from a soft book. Hope you like it.

Wow that turned out great! I guess I better jump in with both feet.

Hi. This was only my 2nd quilt and it was very easy. My DH asked me to do one for a co-worker's shower on a Friday after he came home from work, and he wanted it by Tuesday for a Wednesday party (yikes, I went into panic mode). He picked out the fabric and off I went with much trepidation. But it turned out very cute and it was hard to give away. Of course, the process was so fast that I really did not have much time to get attached to it. lol. Have fun with this - I sure did and it gave me a lot of confidence!!!!

I made a quilt from a nursery rhyme book. Sorry that you may have to stand on your head to see it!

I love these, I have so much to learn. I have seen these soft books, didn't know what they were called or what to do with them, so this post is great.
UP NORTH, I've been through your town on vacation - camping - and I love your quilt. Don't know where you got the fabric, but it's great. I was looking for camping fabric for backing and found it in CA on a trip from here in DE. I'd like to make something like yours if I can find similar fabric and you don't mind a copy cat.

Copy away! I made it for my grandkids we spend 10 days camping every August, Where did you camp? I ordered the panel off the internet but I don't remember where. Someone else on here also used it. I used glow in the dark thread on some of the embroidery designs.
