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.

As I continue to work on the bookcase quilt for my husband, I’ve been sharing new designs here and on Fandom in Stitches, both free for your personal use.
Today I have Sting, Bilbo & Frodo’s sword featured in The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings.
This is a simplified version of the sword with space to add the optional item of your choice. I hope you enjoy! With special thanks to Carol J for testing this pattern.

I’m delighted to share my last quilt block design for the 2024-2025 TTMT BOM. Our event finishes up in April and we’ll have lots of inspiration to complete your quilt at that time!
Designed with my own TTMT quilt in mind, the Rainbow Bear Paw is exactly what it sounds like. This block brought me so much joy to create. I hope you like it, too!

Today I’m delighted to share my most recent contribution to the TTMT BOM. This is a revisit of two old favorites, one never before shared here on my website.
Originally used for a 2018 Block Swap, the Log Cabin below is a classic. I don’t claim the creation of this block, but I did write the instructions and share a paper pieced version for those who aren’t big fans of traditional piecing. The quilt I made from those original swap blocks is one of my great treasures!
A Sewhooked staple for well over a decade, Perfect Nine Patch Wonky Stars is one of my most used patterns.

This week, I’m sharing an oldie! Turkey Talk was designed in 2011 and sold in a local quilt shop. It was later available for sale online and has been retired since 2019 when I closed my online shop.
This simple and cute pattern combines paper piecing, traditional piecing, and hand embroidery for a fun autumnal design. You could also use machine embroidery for the text.
The finished quilt hangs on my front door every year at this time. I’d love to see it hanging on yours!

October is one of my favorite months, and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I’ve designed a lot of Halloween-inspired projects over the years, many of them for free.
Today I’m pulling a Halloween pattern out of my retired pattern archive to share with you for free! As a bonus, I finished up an idea I’ve had bouncing around for years: a 10″ pumpkin frame to use with any 6″ pattern, including Jack’s Lanterns!

As mentioned in recent videos, I’m working on a bookcase quilt for my husband. I’ve been sharing these new designs here and on Fandom in Stitches, both free for your personal use.
We both love Sherlock Holmes, so adding our favorite fictional detective to his quilt was a no-brainer!
Next up is Sherlock Holmes’ Churchwarden Pipe, inspired by my favorite Holmes portrayed by Jeremy Brett. This will be my last Holmes’ themed designed for now.
I hope you enjoy this pattern. I look forward to bringing you more new bookcase blocks as I design them!

As mentioned in recent videos, I’m working on a bookcase quilt for my husband. I have already designed several new blocks that I’ll share here and on Fandom in Stitches as they are ready.

Next up is Sherlock Holmes’ Persian Slipper. This is inspired by one of our favorite quotes from the short stories:
“But with me there is a limit, and when I find a man who keeps his cigars in the coal-scuttle, his tobacco in the toe end of a Persian slipper, and his unanswered correspondence transfixed by a jack-knife into the very centre of his wooden mantelpiece, then I begin to give myself virtuous airs.”
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual
I hope you enjoy this pattern. I look forward to bringing you more new bookcase blocks as I design them!
