As for my Book Shelf, it's got a mix of paper backs, hard backs, classics and contemporary, maybe even a cookbook. Sure, you can see all that, right??? Imagination aside, these books are pieced using classic piecing techniques, plus a bit of foundation paper piecing for the leaning book. Paper piecing is awesome for helping to get those tough angles a block requires!
The Book Shelf block is listed as for the confident beginner quilter, who has some knowledge of paper piecing. This is a good block to learn on if you're new to the technique. As usual, fat quarters are all that's needed for one block.
