I could see it clearly in my head and I had my fingers tightly crossed that the folks at the Moda Bake Shop could picture it too and would approve my proposal. Luckily, they did -- my vision looks a lot better in fabric than it did in that first drawing.
I bought more yardage as soon as the fabric was available in the local quilt shop and it's turned up in several of my projects. I used those gorgeous book spines for a tote bag, which I carry almost every time I leave the house. Some extra nine patch blocks went into a baby quilt. I made a camera strap and a sleeve for Teenage Daughter's Kindle and I've still got the last of it carefully tucked away. It's not too precious to cut, but it's waiting for a perfect excuse to pull it out.

Ingenious idea to use the book covers like that. Glad it worked out like you imagined it. Glad to see it on the Blogger's Quilt Festival.
Very cool - and an interesting illusion... It looks like folks have just gone for a quick walk and are coming right back for an afternoon read in the sunshine. :-)
That is such a great way to incorporate the book fabric. Love it!
Oh, wow - Soooooo many hours of my youth spent with Nancy Drew. :D She was the ultimate escape. This quilt is super fun.
