The Font Quilt--Planning

I have started a new quilt. It's an alphabet quilt and I am using 28 exciting fonts to make it. (26 letters plus $ and & to make it a rectangle.)

Fonts are such fun to work with! I read the book "Just My Type" twice in researching for this quilt. (My husband asked me, after I had borrowed the book a second time from the library, why anyone would need to read a book about fonts twice!)

Fonts also have the advantage of being 100% copyright-free, so I can use them however I like! Finally, I can capitalize on the amazing design experience of professionals without stealing! (Although I feel I have a decent feel for design, I need to work on my art skills.)
