    I love it whether it looks like books or not. It is like the one on the pattern link you sent. Thanks for the link. I also thought selvedges would work well with this pattern. Great quilt you made and whoever gets it will love it!

    You could use strips from selvages as titles on the books.

    Selvages would be easy to add to the spines of a few books, scattered throughout. Saved the pattern, thank you.

    Another great charity quilt, JFIn... If you decide to do a similar one for a special person as suggested you could use selvage titles. Press Wonder Under or Heat N Bond to the back side and press down.
