Thanks Nan. Yes, definately having the name of a manufacturer will help. I'll keep checking on Ebay. Great idea!

That might work with some fussy cutting. I'll check out JoAnns tomorrow. Thanks MistyMarie

Also maybe put this in classified and see if anyone has some laying around :thumbup:

Thanks Sharon b. I saw this one too. The border will be around a quilt depicting Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" so this one might be too "young". But thanks so much for searching for me. Thanks also for the tip to put my search in classifieds. I didn't think of that.

You all are great!!!

there is a block or quilt design in EQ7 for this pattern, found it after I installed on my machine, if you have the program you can check it out there.

My sister is looking for bookish fabric for a curtain for her husband's library. I know it's been a while (6/2011) since the original thread was posted but I just saw it during my research. It was bookshelves filled with books. Do you still have some of the fabric? Thanks for your response...

This custom printer has pages of designs for library books that could be used. Pricey but custom.

Timeless Treasures has a new book fabric available now, and this one even has gold metallic accents (just like on the binding of some beautiful old books).
