As promised, this is the finale of the EPIC bookcase quilt I’ve been working on for my husband. As a bonus, I shared photos of every Project of Doom/Bookcase Quilt that my hands have touched.
I talk about this project in more detail in this video
And I talk more about quilting here
Everything you need to know to get started paper piecing, including my free tutorials.
NEW on my website, a page dedicated to my Bookcase Quilt patterns, helpful information, a gallery of my bookcase quilts, and more!
More info about this quilt:
The Project of Doom and many other bookcase quilt blocks are all on Fandom in Stitches. Look for “Bookcase Quilts” in the purple menu. Indiana Jones blocks by Holly Urbain and Lantern block by Wendi Riggens. All other blocks were designed by me. Additional books-only filler blocks will be coming soon, free for personal use, via Fandom in Stitches and Sewhooked.
I designed the overall quilt and all of my quilt block patterns using EQ8.
I designed all the book titles and many of the embroidery items myself using Embrilliance Stitch Artist 1.
If you need help hooping for machine embroidered titles, I have a video tutorial showing how I hooped my blocks.
Other designs in this quilt:
Urban Threads Anatomical Skull (quilt version edited by me)
Urban Threads Cthulhu Crest
Anita Goodesign Grecian Garden (mine is an older disc copy, but this has all the same designs)
Anita Goodesign Egyptian
Bookcase Fabric Moda Grunge Black 204, Background Fabric Moda Grunge Fig 379
If you’re looking for anything else I didn’t specifically list, let me know and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Hello, friends! I was sick last week so this is a pretty short video. There were lots of crafty thoughts during the week, and I’d love your opinion on an idea I’ve had.
I forgot to mention that I did manage to paint and hang the birdfeeder I showed last week. There’s a quick photo in the intro.

Friends! Quilting has commenced on the Bookcase Quilt! I talk about how I got started on that, some thrifted goodies, plus a thrifted blouse makeover.
Be sure to stick around for the Cat Cameo, it’s a good one!

Hello, my friends, and welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!
I shared on Tuesday that the multi-fandom/history bookcase quilt top I’ve been working on for my husband is at last complete!
Today, I share new blocks made just for this quilt. These 6 simple paper pieced bookcase blocks are perfect for any bookcase quilt project. If you’re looking to make your own Fandom bookcase quilt, you can find a whole load of patterns on Fandom in Stitches. Look for “Bookcase Quilts” in the purple menu for a wide variety of options.
The following patterns are designed by me, Jennifer Ofenstein, and are free for your personal use. Links go to Google Docs that you can save or print. ♥

I forgot to take a photo of this block before adding machine embroidery, but I did make it, and it is in the final quilt. This image is an approximation created using EQ8.
Where did my retired patterns go? Read all about that here.
