AZ Jane has used the fabric brilliantly. Just a quick note, to use the fabric to make the book shelf quilt would be, IMHO, a waste of the brilliance of the fabric. The book shelf pattern is one which I love and will definitely make, but I believe I will use the tons of selveges I have to do that. There is a lady in the Netherlands who made her own pattern and designed a quilt that is beautiful; oh I wish I could do that.
