Anna and Mona, beautiful quilts from both of you. excellent work on putting different sizes together. it's always a fun challenge to do that.

Agreed Mona on the 60" row. That is what I did in another row robin when she did a bookcase. Makes it really fun.

I think I will start my bookcase row today, any helpful hints?

So what exactly is a bookcase row?

They are quilts made to look like bookcases, w/ books and other quilted knick knacks and dustables you don't have to dust on the shelves, even beloved pets. Google book shelf quilts and you will see a ton. People who are in fandoms make many w/ their favorite sci fi or fantasy show theme.

If I made a bookshelf quilt I have a PP TARDIS that would have to go on one shelf!!!! lol

No need to send swatches to one another, just head to Lowe's and pick out the colors via paint chip numbers and email that info to everyone. I learned about that working with Bonnie Hunter mystery quilts... not my idea.

Are we still planning on doing this? The rr I was in also sent along extra fabric pieces that was used in the row that person did so it could be used or not in future rows. It did help pull everything together. I also would prefer sending to each participant so I could see the rows in person. It just seems too complicated the other way. I probably was burned more than anyone else in a swap but I am still willing to send to each other. I was in the quilt for quilters swap and did NOT get a quilt! I'll trust you until you show me otherwise. If we are not doing the swap I would be willing to do one with a group of you on the side. Will be watching. :)

I think it is still a go, just trying to get the details ironed out.

Still wanting to do this- just working on the details, etc. :):) If anyone has some good ideas or such, feel free to send me a PM. :)
