BOOKCASE QUILT

I've come late to the bookcase-quilt bandwagon.

My granddaughter is a book lover and reader, and indicated she would like some of Barnes and Noble's Classic Editions to add to her collection for her 22nd birthday gift.

I figured she needed a bookcase quilt to go with the books I bought for her.

I made it in three units incorporating some of her favorite books plus some imaginary ones.

She loves pretty book covers, so it was fun digging in my scraps for different fabrics.

I incorporated striped fabric and machine embroidery on some of the books.

Also, I used a couple of family pictures to accent the shelves.

No pattern -- as usual, I just made it up as I went.  A fun project, but time intensive --- I probably won't make another bookcase quilt.

THE STATS:
"Caitlin's Bookcase Quilt", 2018, 22" x 44",
Machine pieced, paper pieced, machine appliqued, machine embroidered, machine quilted.  The printing was computer generated on my home printer.
