Bookcase Quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
This was a friendship quilt made with blocks from friends in my guild. I furnished the black background and asked my friends to use it to make something that you would find on a bookcase - I added more blocks to fill in as needed. I think it really came out nice and looks great hanging in my dining room.

I love it and so special with your friends' additions!

I'm thinking this would be a great quilt guild project...thanks so much for sharing.

What a lovely finish! It’s so realistic. Your little helper is posing so nicely!

That's such a great idea and a wonderful keepsake of the talents and ideas from your guild friends.:o

Wonderful and the thread in a basket with the tape hanging down is a great touch!

I bet your pooch wants you to take it off the wall :)

A great memory wall hanging from all your friends-a treasure! The little pooch is adorable, too.

He always wants in the photo - lol. Notice, one of my friends even did a photo of him (Riley) for the quilt

That looks like the "real thing". Great addition of the drawers at the bottom.

Wow! What a great quilt! What a wonderful addition to any room! And I love your little doggie also!!

I really love that! I want to do a bookshelf quilt someday...this has lots of great ideas!

I think that is the nicest bookcase quilt I have ever seen! I like how realistic it looks as well. I would be really happy with that finish too :-)

Mariposa 03-04-2019 01:05 PM

This is fantastic! Nice additions from your friends. Creative shelves~

LavenderBlue 03-04-2019 01:09 PM

How wonderful and one that is on my "to do"
list. ;-)

Sewfine 03-04-2019 01:37 PM

this is so beautiful. I'm gone to make one for my daughter.

Cattitude 03-04-2019 02:35 PM

Love how it looks hanging beneath the plate rack.....very clever placement!

fivepaws 03-04-2019 02:37 PM

That's the best one I have every seen. Great job. How nice to be able to incorporate your friends additions. Makes it even more special.

Very nice, looks so realistic

CookyIN 03-04-2019 02:48 PM

Wow, that is really neat! You were smart to tie all the blocks together by giving your friends the black background. You'd never guess it's a "hodgepodge" of blocks. And I'm sure you know exactly which friend's block you're looking at. Thanks for sharing!

BETTY62 03-04-2019 02:55 PM

I love this quilt. It is the cutest bookshelf quilt I have ever seen.

JustAbitCrazy 03-04-2019 03:40 PM

That is the nicest bookcase quilt I have ever seen! I never would have thought that pattern would work for a block exchange, but you rocked it! I especially love the dangling tape measure. So realistic! Awesome quilt!

Darcyshannon 03-04-2019 04:19 PM

Bookcases are so fun. I like the personal touches

Jingle 03-04-2019 04:54 PM

Beautiful, looks so real. Cute Riley too.

maryb119 03-04-2019 05:29 PM

I love this quilt. My daughter is a librarian at school and a quilter. She would love this!

Judith1005 03-04-2019 05:46 PM

This is fabulous! It is one of the most creative and unique ones I've seen. You and your friends did a great job!

cashs_mom 03-04-2019 07:06 PM

I think that's one of the best bookcase quilts I've ever seen. Good job!

jmoore 03-05-2019 03:14 AM

I agree with fivepaws, that’s one of the nicest bookshelf quilts I’ve come across and I love the idea that your friends had a part in it. It would be a good guild project...Congratulations on your finish and decorative addition to your room.

lynnsv 03-05-2019 05:46 AM

There is a book on bookcase quilts which is what I used to get started - it helped with making the actual case and showing you how to do books leaning, etc - you might want to look for it on Amazon.

Aewsome!!!!!
