Library Book And Bunting Quilt

Project begin date: May, 2011
Project end date: November 13, 2011
I am so happy I got to finish a project!! This one started with this quilt, from Don't Call Me Betsy, books on a bookshelf. Living With Punks got ahold of the idea and did a little reworking to the pattern, then made this adorable book skirt, which I love. My problem with the skirt is that it's too cute to last just one season! I decided to try the quilt, and here is what I came up with:
I'm happy! I wish I could say that I'm a planner and knew what I was going to do with this from the beginning. But this took on a life of its own. From the shape, to the processes used to quilt and applique, and the final addition of the bunting, everything done here was on a whim. I know it's not how my Grandmother would have approached making a quilt, but it's nice to be able to improvise and still be happy with the results!

Thank you Living With Punks and Don't Call Me Betsy blogs for the tutorials and inspiration!
