Bugs on the Bookcase

I pieced my bugs in jars blocks finally. it's rather difficult to press a top that has vinyl all over it. i'm thinking the iron would either stick to it or just melt it. so it only got a spotty pressing. i'm thinking i could turn it over and press from the back side before quilting.

Don't know if i succeded in making it look like shelves on a bookcase. hhmmm!!

I do like all the little bugs in the jars.

Don't know how that fish got in a 'bugs' design pack ... designers are sometimes strange. LOL

The frog might be my favorite one.

What if .... when i quilt it....i quilt in some 'books' standing between the jars. with titles like A Bugs Life, Collecting Bugs, etc. I tried to find embroidery designs of books standing on a shelf but wasn't successful. perhaps i can applique some books on the shelves and embroidery book titles on them. food for thought.

This top is a bit heavier than normal ... due to the vinyl pieces. wonder if/how that will survive a washer and dryer. should test that, i guess.

But, it's another pieced UFO moving to the to-be-quilted UFO cabinet.

Got to go work on a customer quilt for a bit. can it be done by ....

tomorrow?
