I had never seen one like this, and it is just fascinating!!! Your aunt should be SO proud of this! It is a feast for the eyes!

I've never seen one like that! how original and creative. I save selvages and make bags from them. Now you've given me another idea. Thank you for sharing.

Love this quilt. What a novel idea. No pun intended

Your bookcase quilt is marvelous! Looks perfect to me. You are so talented.
Is it ok to more or less copy what you did? Your aunt's likes are mostly mine(no cats).
If I do this for me I would make the middle square a window with a picture of my gardens and maybe add a knitting motif and something "quilty". Were the cats, pictures you printed on fabric? I would do that with the garden picture for mine.
By the way, the clock on the shelf is the same style as my own grandfather's clock which I have.
Thanks for the inspiration.
