My mother's friend has a new great-grandson. We wanted to make a quick quilt for the new little one, and I had just the ticket. This is a
Paddington Bear panel that is supposed to be used to make a soft book. I framed each page in
sashing, including the cover and the back page (cropping the image and adding additional
sashing to size) and asked a
longarmer to quilt it in an allover teddy bear panto.
I just finished the binding yesterday, and verified the baby's name for the label, which I made using a fussy cut
Paddington Bear from the print on the back with an orange
sashing border, which will be sewn on tomorrow.
I'm going to keep on the lookout for these panels for making books. I think it's a cute easy way to pop out a quilt in record time.

This is lovely. I adored the Paddington books as a child. We use Paddington station a lot (as it serves both Wales and the SW of the UK) and I have a soft spot for the statue of Paddington bear that is in the station concourse.
I just got an ABC book panel that I LOVE!
Great way to use a padded book panel... Hmm. I've got one of those around in my drawers. I wonder if I could make it into a quilt...
So cute and I LOVE THE LITTLE BEAR PANTO!!!
