Wow @realale it is amazing

Bottersnikes and Gumbles .... Now a classic and originals are very collectable

[Flobear]

It's brilliant, @realale !  Can't wait to get started o my bookcase quilt. Which is a job for Elvistoo when it comes to titles 

I personally would have the extra row but mine's going to be a room divider; if it's for cuddling under, as previously mentioned, then a squarer looking shape is good.

Does your grandaughter like animals - if so what about the James Herriot books, i.e. 'It shouldn't happen to a Vet' etc.  My daughter found these around the same age, and just loved them - she couldn't get enough of them.

I've only just seen this - it's fantastic, and yes, I think you are right to add the extra row.

[Bodgeitandscarper]

I do love the colours of that - so much easier on the eye than lots of different colours.

I was literally (see what I did there) thinking about that book the other day and deciding to try and get hold of a copy for the grandkids.  I loved it as a young girl, my favourite barring Narnia!

[Missie]

I would go with any of the Narnia Books, but in particular the lion the witch and the wardrobe.  Or how about Michael Morpurgo books: War Horse, The Wreck of the Zanzibar and the The Ghost of Grainne O'Malley were particular favourites of DD at that age.

PS the Quilt is great.

[Ouryve]

It's looking fantastic 


(I wouldn't add anything by DW, in case it doesn't [ahem] age well.)

[realale]

Thank you for all your suggestions.  I've used some and have now designed the final 5 blocks. I've stitched one out but need to cut more fabric before I can do the other blocks.

[Puzzler]

That’s amazing. I am in awe. 

[Sheilago]

Absolutely lovely and so personal.  I look forward to seeing the finished quilt!

[realale]

I look forward to seeing the finished quilt!

So do I, I just don't want to do it!!! 

[Flobear]

I'm beginning to realise that's how I feel about quilts, @realale !

I really like designing/planning and piecing, I can put up with layering, I'm not at all keen on quilting but I do enjoy binding edges
