Show and Tell quilt pattern (QW)

Yesterday while I was at Annie's Quilt Shop in Orono, ON doing a workshop, I saw a quilt they had on the wall.  The pattern is called Show and Tell by Elizabeth Hartman.  It was the cutes thing!

I bought the pattern.....not because I want to make this large 75" x 85" quilt, but because I think that each of these individual animals are so cute, and they in themselves would make a very cute toddler quilt, with a border around them.  I love the idea of an animal in the quilt, holding a quilt.  You could do any quilt pattern you wanted.  You could also use an orphaned block with borders, to make the quilt the animal is holding.  Many possibilities....

I think I am going to look over the pattern and see which one I want to make first, then I'll have a look in my box of orphaned blocks to see what I have.  It'd be a fun way to use them up and get them in a quilt.  If I have a bunch of smaller orphan blocks, I could make a sampler of sorts....wouldn't that be fun.

Anyways, I have it here in my blog with my usual (QW), so I can be reminded of the quilts I want to make.  (QW) stands for Quilt Want-to-be....lol.  Putting it here helps me control how many quilts I actually start.  My main focus right now is finishing quilts I already started.

PS Before I even finished this post, I couldn't resist looking at the pattern, which is actually a book.  Didn't realize that when I bought it, as it was in a bag.  I know the finished size of those quilts the animals are holding, so my brain is already making plans......  Who wants to guess how long it takes for me to breakdown and start one of theses quilts....lol.

Take cares everyone.
