I LOVE the book shelf one. I made one for my sister. What I did was pick a neutral background. I then printed pictures on Ink jet friendly fabric. I framed each picture with strips of sashing, to go along with the picture size. I also hand picked the sashing fabric to match the picture (ie, a beach print for pictures at the beach, hearts for her wedding picture, etc.) I then measured the pictures to locate the widest and the tallest. I sashed the "framed" pictures so that I could cut blocks that fit the "largest" size. I sewed them together and the top was done. I didn't even put on a border.
