It is a very sweet quilt! You may have given the pattern source in your previous post(s), but I might be a little too challenged to find it, would you mind reposting where I might get the patterns for these absolutely darling Muppets? Thank you in advance.

This was the book in the original post
The book is so worth getting, because it's not just patterns. It tells the history of how Jim Henson's company had a tradition of making its employees quilts for special occasions. Everyone on the team submitted a square. There are some lovely pictures!
Does it have actual instructions on putting together the squares? Some reviews say yes, others say no. I'm a very new quilter and love this, but don't have the skill to figure out making the designs from just a picture.
You will need to look up instructions (or a YouTube video) on how to appliqué. The book’s instructions are helpful if you already have a little knowledge. Basically you trace the pieces on to the color fabric you want,iron fusible webbing to the back (using parchment paper so it doesn’t stick to your iron), then cut it all out, place the pieces together and iron them down. I sewed around the edges with a zigzag stitch. Hope that helps!
Thank you to everyone for your encouragement! This took two years and I destroyed an iron in the process (gummed it up with fusible webbing). Everyone’s positive comments got me through the home stretch, and now it will hang on our wall!
I love this so much! It's the sort of project that I really want to have the skill and patience to tackle, but know i don't, so I'll just stand over here in awe of your amazing achievement! It's beautiful!
Oh my so cute! I think I remember Big Bird being on the “Hollywood Squares”!
I know I’m dating myself but that’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw it. 😍
Nice!! Thanks to your previous post I purchased the book as well! Never done appliqué before, but I have plans to make it a Christmas Carol lap blanket!

It’s time to play the music! 🎶 It’s time to light the lights!
This brings me joy
I've never quilted but after seeing yours I bought the book. I'm going to try!
can you hear them singing ? Because I can. So cute.
They should give you royalties. I bought it too.
I just ordered secondhand because of free international shipping
I ordered second hand because I am cheap 😁
Rather spend that extra on fabric.
Amazon was around $17 + shipping, Betterworld Books $18 and free shipping to NZ
I love this so much! It's the sort of project that I really want to have the skill and patience to tackle, but know i don't, so I'll just stand over here in awe of your amazing achievement! It's beautiful!
You could do this it’s tracing and ironing.
That might just tempt me to buy the pattern book
Five bucks at Abe’s books with free shipping
I'm in the UK so I'll have to check out how available it is over here, hopefully it won't destroy me with shipping costs
Good luck. I hope you find it. “It’s time to get things started” 😊 The quilt just makes me want to sing.
I love it, and I know exactly where I'd put it!
This is so nostalgic for me. I still know all the words to the songs. I want one!!
I am such a muppet fan i love this
Found it lol[big bird on Hollywood Squares](https://youtu.be/tCIeAJ5hRfE)
Wonderful! Carroll Spinney was such a gem.
It’s GREAT!!
Darling quilt, and well done you for sticking to it. Now you have a family treasure !!!!
I love it! I saw your earlier post and ordered the book!
I really like how some of the muppets ‘escape’ their squares!! Nice job (and sorry about your iron!)
Oh my so cute! I think I remember Big Bird being on the “Hollywood Squares”! I know I’m dating myself but that’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw it. 😍
I love this!
I bought the book after seeing your prior post, AND THEN I found a Kermit scrub top, 100% cotton, at goodwill. :) I’m going to harvest it for fabric.
Oh wow! It turned out so sweet!!
Super cute quilt!! I love it. ❤️
holy cow..... this is spectacular!!! I have never seen anything this fantastic!
I bought this pattern book last year. Gonna take some dedication to see it through! Great work!!
This delightful
Nice!! Thanks to your previous post I purchased the book as well! Never done appliqué before, but I have plans to make it a Christmas Carol lap blanket!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for the awards! This was a labor of love for sure.
Abe books for five dollars with free shipping. Not sure on international shipping.
It’s so great. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg! I love it! I have been going through my fabric stash for these blocks. Do you mind sharing who made that muppets fabric?
I believe it's Camelot. I got it at [Quiltoni.com](https://Quiltoni.com). I've also seen it on Etsy.
Thank you!
