My goal is to complete at least one project each week. This is my project for the past week. I found the tutorial on
Craftsy by Elizabeth Dackson. I have to admit that I found some of the instructions confusing but in the end I am quiet pleased with the results. It is a birthday present for a friend who is a librarian and quilter. When I saw the little quilted wall hanging, I knew I had to make one for her.
I thought using the selvages from fabric was a very creative use of something we would otherwise discard. The original pattern didn't include the stippling of the background but I thought it would help to highlight the books. This was a great way to use some of the fabric in my stash.
Next week I hope to begin working on three table-toppers for my lunch group ladies.

Pam, This quilt is really cute. I love how you added the edges for the book titles. I'm sure your friend will love it. Good luck on the project a week. I need to set some goals like that, but I'm probably too scatter brained to keep up with it.LOL
