I don't do a lot of pre-printed panels. I strongly believe that when I am giving a baby quilt to someone I care about, the amount of time spent has value and sends a message. BUT, I love this panel. When I saw it years ago, I bought three of them and companion border fabric. It is called the Hungry Animal Alphabet and it is more for the parents that the child. If you've seen it, you know what I mean.
How can you not fall in love with this Hippo seated on a Hassock wearing a Housedress of Hibiscus while she uses her Hankie in preparation for her Hamburger and Honey as her Hen watches. You have to love the furnishings -- the Hat and Hat tree against the Herringbone wallpaper and the Heart cut out of the table. But I know I've missed stuff so what do you see and what on earth is the lamp -- I'm used to those being oil lamps and cannot figure that one out. Help. It's making me nuts!
And what about this one? Aren't the Checked Cafe Curtains clever?
Honestly, I love them all and could have showed each of them to you!
But, you see what I mean about this being more for parents than the baby. In this case, this goes to my one-and-only great nephew, Special K. Love him to death and he may be the happiest baby on the earth. Such a joy!
I'm also lucky enough to have a fourth panel that was gifted to me by a special friend, logcabinquilting, when she was cleaning out her stash. More on that at a later date. I'm still trying to understand it.
So, here's your test -- what do you see in this block?
I hope you are finding time to create for people you love!
