This quilt’s story:  This is the most expensive 12” block EVER!! I needed the fabrics to tell the story of each book I choose. I didn’t have many “specialty fabrics” in my stash so I started looking just for fat quarters to buy.  Not much luck there… So, I went online and found what I needed but I had to purchase ½ yard up to 2 yards of the fabric (ie: I HAD to have the maroon and gold train for Harry Potter and it was on sale for only $6.00/Yd., with a minimum of 2 yards!). Even with the expense, I think it was worth it to have more than 1 book represented. I could make a King size quilt using more of those 2 ½” squares!!
