Another Way to Repurpose and Recycle...

Quilters' Quarters has several bolts of fabric book panels, with adorable illustrations and vivid colors that entertain our youngest friends, children and grandchildren. But it seems that once the little one reaches pre-school toddler age, the fabric books are put aside as being too 'baby-ish.'

Why not recycle that fabric book into quilt blocks? Or, why not purchase two panels and make both a lap size quilt AND a matching fabric book?

Come in and have a look at the many book panel fabrics in stock at Quilters' Quarters ... they are priced reasonably, as most are less than a yard in length, and of course the 20% discount and tax discount for cash or check purchases makes the cost even more pleasing. (25" length = $7.50 less 20% = $6.00 per panel!)

There are usually blender fabrics bought specifically to coordinate with the book panels, and the shop has an abundance of other brightly colored juvenile fabrics that will also enhance a toss pillow, or a toddler or lap quilt featuring the books' pages.

I'm happy to show you how to make, and then, if wanted, 'un-make' and reuse the book pages panel.  Re-use, Re-purpose, Re-cycle ... with many options to choose from~
