For 10" blocks only, you'll need 1/2 of yard of background fabric PER 5 blocks.
This is a generous estimate and will change based on how many items are in your blocks. More items = less background fabric needed. We like to err on the side of too much!
Please note that this is for background fabric for the blocks ONLY and does not include borders, shelves, or other fabric you might like to use.
We highly recommend using a non-directional tonal for your background fabric. Stripes or other directional fabric (a print that is up and down or side to side) will make paper pieced blocks much, much trickier.
If you aren't sure how many blocks you might want to make and don't want to buy loads of fabric to start, consider using a blender that's not likely to disappear any time soon (something like Moda Marbles or other "basics."). This only really becomes a problem when PoDs (Projects of Doom) turn into UFOs (UnFinished Objects)! When in doubt, talk to the staff at Your Local Quilt Store!
Fabric for books and objects can be scraps, remnants, fat quarters, pre-cuts, or whatever else your heart desires. You'll need small amounts in a variety of colors for each block you make. Color choices and styles are entirely up to the quilter! Hot Tip - Check with local quilt store for scrap bags & remnants! Have quilting friends? Ask if they have scraps they can share!
Suggested Quilt Layouts. Use one of ours or create your
own!
We recommend thinking about what size quilt you
want before getting started.
The following quilt layouts
ALL use 10" blocks and can be combined with our
Bookcase Quilt Blocks. If you're feeling wild and free, you can always get
started and come back to this later!
The following quilt layouts (finishing instructions)
were created by Fandom in Stitches designers and are
free for your personal use.
Each of these uses 10" blocks (10 1/2" unfinished)
and can be used with your Bookcase Blocks. You're
welcome to use one of our patterns or use the design
of your choice to finish your bookcase.
