I have been struggling getting the pieces just right for the book quilt. I purchased the template set and expected to get instructions. Well I suppose that was to much to ask from the supplier. Won't be purchasing any other products from the site.
Anyway, I did manage to make a pieced block, but it was tough trying to get the pieces to fit right the second time I put it together. After much aggravation I resorted to paper piecing. Frankly, not sure why I didn't think of this sooner!
Here are the first two blocks. I changed the orientation of the yellow books cover (USA and girl) from the first time I sewed it down. I still don't like it. Perhaps I will change it again or remove it entirely. It really doesn't need it, but I thought it would look cuter. The first book looked real cute with the polar bear. The instruction part that I struggled over are the pages of the book and the surrounding background. I am giving myself a pat on the back for getting this project going in the right direction. I don't know how many books my project will need. Going to be fun digging through my stash to find "covers" that will work =^.^=Enjoy the rest of the week!

Looks good to me! I am sure you will find some interesting fabrics for more covers
