michy11 I made this quilt for my son Jules who had been nagging me for  a quilt.  My son is an  avid reader so I thought the  bookshelf was a good choice and the colour was Jules ' choice.  It can't be seen in the photo , but the backing is a linen/cotton newsprint fabric and I thought it was an amusing compliment to the bookish theme. It does have its practical side as well,   in
summer, the newprint side is on top and in winter, the bookshelf is on top.  This was my first attempt at modern quilting, and I must say I enjoyed it immensely.Since I made the quilt about a year ago it has been washed a bit, and it actually has improved it. The simple straight line quilting is more promenent  and  the texture  is softer and more cuddly.
