Building a Bookcase

I'm still working on my Doom quilt.  This week I got the shelves, bottom, and sides of the bookcase done.



I'm still using my cell phone to take pictures, so they aren't great quality.  I was planning to do a flat top on the bookcase.  But to me, a flat surface cries out for clutter, so I've been making stuff to go on the top of the bookcase.

 
Two of the book titles are a dedication to the quilt recipient (Congratulations to Kathyrn, UVA grad and Harry Potter Expert  May2013) This way I won't have to make a separate label for the back. The other book is Self-Defensive Spellwork.


Felix Felicis (liquid luck) and a Howler (which took almost 2 hours to  make). 

Scabbers the Rat aka Peter Pettigrew.

Love it! Someone else has a dragon on the top of her bookshelf. I want to find that dragon pattern. I have a LONG way to go before I get to the point that you are at. Jennifer O is now trying to get some 'Doom' blocks for a charity quilt.

I love what you've done with your quilt. It is really taking shape nicely. What a lucky young man to receive such a creative gift.
