Journal Cover

I had a remnant of Texas A&M fabric taking up oxygen in my stash and decided to use it as a journal cover.  The fabric was leftover from the quilt I made for our grandson who is a freshman at A&M and the cover was made according to Wanda’s tutorial. 

I also added these to my collection of double four-patches and house blocks.  I’ve decided to continue making double-four patches until my supply of the white fabric runs out.

We are in a warming trend with highs expected in the 80s for the next few days, and then mid-week another cool-down arrives.  Spring will not be far off, though.  The dogs are loving the milder weather and are usually reluctant to come back in when we want to lock the hatch to the pet door.

Journal Cover

I received a fat quarter at a Guild meeting and was asked to create something with it that could be used in our quilt show boutique next February.  The fabric was so pretty I really didn’t want to cut it up.  I procrastinated several months because I could not decide what to do.  When the show chairman said they already had enough potholders, mug rugs, tissue holders and pin cushions, I decided I better get busy and make a decision before I ran out of options.   So, I decided to use Wanda's tutorial and make a journal cover.

A fat quarter is not wide enough to make the inside flaps as big as I wanted, so I had to piece it.  Fortunately, I was able to place the seam were the fabric turns on the back flap and it isn’t all that noticeable.  I like it, and if no one else buys it, I will.
