Thanks to Mdm Samm and Carol for giving me a chance to share in this fun hop!
I decided to use some of the wonderful book spines fabric from this line in my project as well as the very popular X Plus block...
This was my inspiration for my project, these are my blocks for my month in the Modern Stash Bee I belong to on Flickr...
Since I have this block on my brain for March it inspired me to create this mini quilt "X Marks The Spot"
As you can see, I photographed it on my library card catalog...yes, you read that right, I have an old library card catalog cabinet in my kitchen...had a nook built for it when we built the house actually...
Thanks for visiting me today and be sure to visit with the others sharing today with me...

I would love to see your whole cabinet !
Sew cute. I really love it!
That is beautiful...what a great block for those fabrics.
Yet another brilliant idea, the design stands out so well. I am hoping to get a Nancy Drew book from the library, next time I'm in town.
Love your projects, but I love your old card catalog file cabinet more! lucky you - beautiful place to put your Nancy Drew mini.
This is very neat--love the silhouette, it's one of my favorite Nancy Drew icons!

Yes to mirror Jeanie's comment...X certainly marks the spot...I adore your mat...and the fact it fits perfectly on your amazing cabinet file...oh my word..how I love that....great find....

Your mini quilt is beautiful and it looks amazing on your card file! I think we'd all love to have that card file! :O)
As a librarian, I do like your card catalogue. The mini quilt is so cute.
nice cabinet in you kitchen and love your quilt project
The mini quilt is super cute.Great idea!!
Well, that's a clever one... x marks the spot... very clever! Out of curiosity... what do you put in all those drawers? I don't see any labels... they can't be filled with recipes! This blog hop has awakened the snoop in me! lol
How smart! I love your mat (and your cabinet!). Great job!
Great job, Kris.i like the way you added Nancy to the center.
Love it! So creative! Congrats on being one of the chosen.
That cabinet sure brings back memories...of looking for ND books at the library. :-)
This is amazing! Just beautiful, but you would expect something creative from someone with a card catalog in their kitchen! What a beautiful cabinet.
Wow! I just love it and what a great piece of furniture. Congratulations on being in the top today!
This is adorable - and such a lovely storage chest to have!
Wow... great job - the book spines cut at an angle, the addition of wordy fabrics, and photographed on a card catalog... perfect!
I really like the X marks the spot. Good job.
The other non Nancy Drew fabric matches it perfectly, a great mini quilt and quilt block.
Fantabulous! Luv it! and the cabinet! B-)
Totally love the quilt! The orange really makes Nancy pop. I'm also in love with your library cabint.
Love your x marks the spot block! I really like how you incorporated the books in your block. Just perfect!

Thank you for sharing your awesome project. Love that block
Now that is a sluethy block. Love how it turned out and girlfriend, love the card catalog.
oh what a fun and functional piece of furniture! Your X really marks the spot of fabulosity! I love how the accent fabric mimics the gray book spine designs!
I was enjoying looking at the blocks you had made and thought they were such a nice use for scraps. Then saw your Nancy Drew block and liked that one even more. Thanks for sharing.
Kris, I love your block. Great use of the book spine fabric.
You're the only other person except me that I've found, so far, to use the X marks the spot concept. I did too. I absolutely love your little quilt. And I also love your card catalog cabinet.
Amazing project and that cabinet is incredible :)
Definitely my favorite for the day! The design & execution is perfect. Love the card catalog. What a great piece of furniture of our past.

I love the X Plus blocks! What a fun idea to turn one into a nancy mini! :)
Great block! I love the way it finished. Thanks for sharing.
I really love the X Nancy drew Block! The silhouette was perfect!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love it! Brings back such good memories ad I love that even though it is Nancy Drew you made her feel grown up a with the coordinating fabrics you chose.
Fantastic quilt! Nicely done.
Very nicely done and placed in such a nice setting too. My grandmother used to have something like that in her kitchen but I do not know where they wound up on her passing. All kinds of goodies tucked in there.
You come up with very, very clever ideas and I'm always anxious to see what you have created. The coordinating fabrics really make the quilt pop. It is great that you had a nook built for your library card catalog. What a great project for a Nancy Drew theme. You always wow me and inspire me with your creations.
Hi! It's me again. Congrats on "Most Creative" for the day! You get my vote too.
Oh My Gosh, I love this block. I like how you displayed it. Thanks for the fun.
X marks the spot is really cute - you used the book fabric perfectly. Loved your vintage library furniture, too.
Kris this is just darling and I am so jealous of your card catalog! blessings, marlene
