The Quilters' Guild has various specialist groups within it and I belong to the Contemporary Quilt Group. Each year there is a stand at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham and the specialist groups take turns to organise and run it. This year the CQ group is manning the stand and the theme is Bookwraps. Many quilters, both members and non-members, have made hundreds of bookwraps to raise funds for the Guild and the variety is wonderful. It is a great way of putting to good use unfinished bits, samples and pieces you don't know why you made but a use is now to hand!
Among the fabrics I used are commercial florals over-printed with Indian blocks and fabric paint, upholstery samples and small remnants of nice fabric which don't need much doing to them.
Here is a selection of my fund-raising pieces:
