Looking very cute (used Patrick Lose marble material and it is very bright, colorful, christmasy. It is going to be gorgeous.

This is how I have done them and was very pleased with the results.

I made a quilt from a book panel. It was fun figuring out how to make it work, I cut all the blocks out and framed them.
Its called, "Meet the Moonbeamers"

I've made several quilts from children's soft book panels. Here are photos of two on which I did attic windows.

i love the idea with the attic windows treatment ! great idea.
a member of our Q4K group takes the book pages or even large print sections of animals and does a crazy log cabin around them. so you can do different sizes. they are great !
