Your quilt is very pretty. It is very bold and makes a statement. That is a great idea on your books.
I have passed on about 30 quilting books so far. I enjoyed them all at the time I bought them. But, now, I hope someone else will find them and snap them up and enjoy them as much as I did. (I usually just donate mine to the local library.) Or, there's this great little thrift store in my area that I just love to stop into. I donate a lot there too.
