Blue Belle Fleur Journal Cover - front<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I know that I am going to start the FOTY 2011 quilt next week, so I have been working on smaller projects. I have, either, been finishing projects in process or making items I have had on my mind.<\/p>\n

Here is the Blue Belle Fleur journal cover that I finished this week. I started it some time ago and the pieces ended up in a pile on my old cutting table while I worked on the Stepping Stones quilt.<\/p>\n

I set up my new cutting table and found them in the process.<\/p>\n

For this journal cover, I worked on putting pieces of the fabric (stamps, postmarks, writing) that I liked where I could see them. You can see, in the top photo, left, where I have done that.<\/p>\n

The inside ended up with a really nice full piece of the Belle Fleur fabric. I am not much of a butterfly person beyond the norm, but in this context, they look really nice.<\/p>\n

I am not sure why I decided to pair this fabric with black. I think the black works well with the Belle Fleur, but I don’t remember why I chose it. Perhaps it was handy. I was using those black fabrics for the Food Quilt<\/a>, so I have a feeling there strips available.<\/p>\n

The only part of the fabric I didn’t get was a bird head. Oh, well. I have some bits and pieces of the fabric left, so I will keep trying.<\/p>\n

You can make your own journal cover by checking out the tutorial<\/a>. If you are not using the Miquelrius journals, you will need to adjust the size to the size of your journal.<\/p>\n

Frustratingly, I had trouble with the size. The size of the journals hasn’t changed so I don’t know what the issue is. Perhaps not measuring? I had trouble getting the cover to fit the journal. I think this is why I want to finish a project rather than leaving it lie for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
