Do they look like books?

I just finished this one yesterday. Not terribly happy with my quilting on it, but I suppose the important things...

Do they look like stacks of books?

Charity quilt. I'm sure someone will like it for the design (not the quilting)! I did learn from it, however.

Oh, and I did use up a few of my 2" strips...just a few, though.

It was a free pattern from Windham fabrics...

I love it, such great fabrics, and yes, it does look like books.

Great quilt! You could always write or quilt in some to titles on the spines if you want it to look more like books.

That is just gorgeous, simple pattern, but oh so effective, well done.

Books and quilts - two of my favorite things. I think they look like stacks of books, as Tartan suggested you could quilt some titles on a few of the spines and that will make it very obvious to all. Is the border a print?? Or are those actually tiny pieced squares?

The border is a print. This one is a charity quilt so I'll decline on the embroidery...

Yep! Definitely stacked books.

very nice pattern and a good idea for strips.

Cute quilt! I think this would be a fun quilt to use some of those salvage edges for book titles. Some of the fabrics have very fun names.

Great book quilt. It does look like books. Thank you for the link to that pattern.
