I made this about two years ago. The planning and sewing was great fun and I could incorporate many of the fancy stitches of my new sewing machine.

Edited to add that my fancy computer is so smart, that it automatically stands pictures the right way round, pity it doesn't copy them the same way into this forum.

Love all of the detail work on the books :D:D:D

I love your quilt - what a clever use of stitches to illustrate the book bindings. My two favorite things -quilts and books. Good job.

That's hilarious. I thought it was an abstract when it was on its side. I didnt see books.

I love quilts and books, too. But I would have to work a cat and/or a dog in there, too!

Thusnelda 05-28-2011 10:10 PM

Thank you everyone! The idea sort of popped into my head when my flat was renovated and they replaced my beautiful but albeit not very burglar-proof bull-glass appartment door with a solid white door.

jeannie t 05-29-2011 03:50 AM

Isn't it funny where we get some of our ideas for quilts?
