This lead me to think about quilts. More specifically a book quilt. Now, I'm not talking about being a hoarder, and having a towering pile of books fall on me, trapping me under a "quilt" of books. Although, really, as long as there were no major paper cuts, and it happened quickly, it wouldn't be a bad way to go.
But I digress. I have come up with the idea, now I need someone to implement it for me. Cause, as I know, I'm not a crafty person at all--see Wanna-Be Crafter on my other blog to fully understand my ineptness as a woman of craft. What would keep me warm on such a chilly night? A book quilt, that's what. A quilt made up of all the covers of books I have loved throughout the years. How super cool neat-o mosquito that would be! Somehow I would transfer the cover images onto quilt squares, then create a one of a kind quilt, just for me. Hopefully this wouldn't violate any kind of copyright laws. I will have to consult with a lawyer. And then, maybe write, cry, and beg the illustrators to let me make my quilt. I think this is something that would go to the grave with me. Or urn. You get the picture.
So, um, anyone want to make this for me? :) I'll be your BFF! As long as you're not a stalker. Then I'd just take my quilt and run.
what a great idea! just buy the transfer paper and use your computer to print the squares~ call a fabric store they will help you.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I may have to make this my first quilt project. With a lot of help from some gifted crafters I know.
