Ever since RevPam posted a link to a mini bookshelf quilt, I have known that I would make one. Finally got around to it!

This is 9" by 10", so it is small enough for the AAQI, but I'm not sure it's executed well enough, so I may make another one, and then decide.

What do you think?

I really like it. What is AAQI?

Oh what a great little quilt! Love the selvage titles. Do I have time to get one done and into the library before Saturday for their silent auction fundraiser? Decisions, decisions--get off the board woman and sew!

That is just too cute.

Correct! Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. The little quilts are sold to fund alheimer's research.

This is priceless!

Til now, I had no interest in saving selvages .... I think you just gave me a reason!!!!

Curious ... do the selvage labels correspond with the book they are attached to?

Curious #2 ... is there a pattern? or did you just wing it?

Please? and Thanks!!!!!!!

Here is the link for my inspiration for this little quilt: http://dontcallmebetsy.blogspot.com/...tutorial.html. I used this as a guide, but I mostly winged it -- my usual MO!

The selvage 'title' on the leaning book actually goes with that fabric, but the rest are random selvages that were not wonky and had words that seemed appropriate.

Glad you like it!

Thanks ... I "wing it" a lot of the time too!!!!
IMHO, patterns are like recipes ... somethng for guides and inspiration and then just "go at it" and see what you can create!!!

I think I have just started to collect selvages ... something I never thought I would do! :lol:
