In particular a book shelf quilt for our Library. A snuggly quilt that we can camp under on a cold night while reading a book
There are lots of variations on this design floating around the internet .. but essentially it is a variation on a stacked strip quilt quilt with some strategically placed colour. Lots of opportunity for some hand sewing and personalisation with the spines of the books.

Some people do these quilts in 2D others do them in 3D to make them stand out a bit more.

This idea is of course, just a pipe dream. I haven't started buying fabric or plotting out the blocks, we first have to get the Library fully functional. I also have Tori's paintbox quilt to finish by September and then of course all the "works in progress" for my online shop.

I'm honored you like my bookshelf quilt top, so far. I still need to add another border and then quilt it. More later.
You are right -- so much room for personalization. Mine is from a swap. We each made one shelf. Then I added things in front.
Love these. Of course, I'm now wondering if I could knit a bookcase blanket.
I love the idea of the book shelf quilt, and what a great idea to do it as a swap, one shelf each
