Book-Theme Fabric We Love

There's nothing better than combining your love of sewing with your love of reading! If you're a booklover, consider adding book-theme fabric to your projects to create beautiful and meaningful quilts. I've pulled together some of my favorite book-theme fabrics from the past few years to share with you (I'll check periodically to add new fabric collections and remove any that are out of print).

If you're making my Book Club Quilt, these fabrics are great choices for your blocks, book pages, and backing! Have a fave book fabrics not listed here? Tell us in the comments, so we can add it!

Book- and Reading-Theme Fabric

While some of these fabrics might be too large or patterned to use in smaller book blocks, they would be perfect for fussy-cutting in your blocks or even to use as backing fabric!
