Bookworm

 

That is what my neighbor's 8 year old son is, a bookworm. 


A couple of years ago, he had asked me to make him a quilt. Back then, I didn't know his interests. I knew he loved watching sports. 


And he loved to ride his bike, but that was it. This year I found out that he loves to read! 


So after seeing Angela Pingel's Book Nerd pattern at a local quilt store, I decided that this year I would surprise him with that quilt he had asked for.  This was a paper-piecing project, which are not one of my favorites to do. If ever I were to do this project again, I would modify her pattern: no cornerstones, just sashing strips.
