    I am trying to co-ordinate a baby quilt and trying to find some fabric that has books printed all over it. I have "googled" myself silly and keep coming up with "fabric books" and not "fabric with a book print". Anyone have any ideas?

    A lot of people use the fabric book pages as squares to make baby quilts. They make beautiful quilts. The front cover is the upper left hand corner block, the back cover is the lower right. All the pages make up the other blocks and sashing/cornerstones in between. You might try that if you can't find what you're looking for.

    I have some scraps of a navy blue background, with school books, globes, rulers and other school items on it.

    Thanks for trying, but I'll need a few yards. Good news is that I have time to look some more.

    Thanks for trying. I looked them, but they aren't really "baby" enough. My main fabric is little bears reading books to each other. I will need to rethink the quilt, but that is okay, the baby isn't due till the end of June.

    Here is one by Timeless Treasures that's got books, but it also has cats, and thus all the books are about cats. I don't know if it is what you want, but here is the link to Feline Drive. (I think the price is by the quarter yard. Normally, this would turn me off, but they have fabric I can't find elsewhere and that I really, really love!) It's called Bookcase Cats.
