"Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble..."

It barely got finished in time, but it did! And now to unveil the final exam project for my graphic design class..

The assignment was to design a quilt (full-size or wall quilt size). We had to include the stitching pattern, because of course, the stitching often makes a quilt. We didn't actually have to make it full size, though, as long as we made it to scale and included the enlargement details and all.

I chose to make a shelf of books for children and young adults. Some of the books I own, like the Chronicles of Narnia and the Collier's Junior Classics set, but most of them aren't ones I have. Here is the overall view (you can click on it to see a bigger version):

And let's not forget the stitching pattern... if I were actually making this design into a quilt, I would quilt around the bookshelf and each of the books. But I was running late and there was no way I was going to draw little stitches all over my adorable bookshelf, so instead I made this:



So what do you think?
