Thanks for your input!

I love Dick and Jane. I made two. The first I bought a kit and made for my little niece, and the second I just duplicated the first. It was a purchase request from another family member.
The pic is of the second one (pattern was mostly from the kit).

I had those books in the first grade. I guess I already knew how to read, because while the kids took turns reading a page aloud, I was reading ahead in the back of the book. When it was my turn to read aloud, I never knew what page I was supposed to be reading! lol

From a Thimbleberries book, there is a pattern called 'Hopscotch' I actually made a Dick and Jane quilt from this pattern, sbsolutely love it-
Looks like you are so very close to be able to do a Turning 20 quilt also, which would showcase each print.
