The final layout proofs of Inchie Quilts arrived, were proofread, and were returned back in April, but I was just too buried under the task of actually proofreading them (in addition to a ton of other stuff right then and since then) to post about it. But let me tell you how cool it is to see everything come together and look like a real book, and look even better than you imagined it could!
When the layout proofs arrived here, everything stopped so I could sit down and look through the pages. The layout proofs are in color, and look pretty close to what the finished book will look like minus the binding and cover. From the first page I was just so pleased with the layout and the details. The extra graphical elements like ruler scales on the page edges that the design team added were just perfect. The quilt photography and reproduction was beautifully done; there are closeups of individual Inchies so you can really see the embellishments and the dimensional details.
I just can’t wait for you to see the finished product, and well, I can’t wait to see it myself! Word is that it may be back from the printer and in stock at AQS any time now (which is earlier than expected!), so hopefully, I won’t have long to wait!
