My daughter is a high school librarian, and I'd been thinking about something like this for her. Is it paper pieced?

The original pattern (Book Block - Winnowing.com) is paper pieced, but I don't really enjoy doing that so much, so the teacup and slanted blocks are paper pieced, but the rest I did out of my head.

WOW! Thanks for letting me know. It makes my head hurt to think that hard! LOL

What a thoughtful gift! I love it! Now that you have more time, you could make story book quilts for your library.
Just a thought. Great job!

Oops, this may be posted twice!

No, all the books are part of a quilt block, the toys and teacup are appliqued on.

Awesome! It reminds me of my personal library. Maybe I need to make a library quilt so that the day I downsize my personal library it won't seem as if I did. K

where did you get this pattern? I am unable to find it anywhere. Any help is appreciated as I am a volunteer for our library and we would love to make this to hang up in the building. Thank you!

That is so neat! Think of how many people will enjoy it when they see it at the library. Great!
