It is a quilt made to look like a bookcase. Some folks use the selvages on the end of the books. Here is a picture of the bookcase quilt I made--this is an in progress photo, it is still a UFO after 2 years!! I didn't use selvages, but bought fabric with writing on it and used it on some of the books. I need to get this out and finish it up I guess.

Well, the top is finished but not sandwiched or quilted----still a UFO. It was one of the very first quilts I made and didn't have a clue how to quilt it, so put it away. I was just thinking of it and a couple of other UFOs a couple of weeks ago and got it out to finish. My goal is to get them done by New Years Day.

Yes, it may be wishful thinking however, especially if I decide to do this year's Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt that starts the Friday after Thanksgiving. Never have done a mystery quilt before, and her style isn't my fav, but I am sure to learn some things from it so am planning to try it. Maybe I will take the easy way out and give the bookcase quilt to my long arm quilter to do---but have been afraid to give it to her in case she will turn me down, as it is quite irregular and has lots of bumps in it from all the little improv piecing. Any ideas on how to quilt it?
