\"Whole<\/a>
Whole Journal Cover – Outside<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finished filling another journal – the one which wore (??) the Blue Tree Journal Cover<\/a> – and then finished a new journal cover. It is pink, as you can see, and it is the perfect color to make me happy on cold, wet days. <I am not complaining about the rain, because we desperately need it, but it still is cold and wet outside><\/p>\n

\"Inside<\/a>

I used the mosaic piecing<\/a> technique again (great for scraps) and really have some nice looking abstract motifs on the cover. It took me a long time to make the fabric for this journal cover, which was odd. Perhaps I used many, many more small pieces than I have in the recent past. the whole process is a good use of scraps, though.<\/p>\n

I am not as happy with this cover as I was with the Blue Tree Journal Cover, but not because of the piecing. It has more to do with the filling. I put flannel on the inside, as I have with recent journal covers. I am beginning to think is my preferred filling for these journal covers. In this cover I put the flannel a little too close to the edges. It made the edges, coupled with all the piecing, really thick. I forgot to keep the flannel out of the seam allowances. The edges feel odd.<\/p>\n

Last time I am pretty sure I quilted the Blue Tree Journal Cover to keep the flannel in place and kept the flannel out of the seam allowances. I need to remember to do that, which may mean I need to rewrite the tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One thing I may do is make a new cover and put this one on an older journal. I haven’t had a chance, but stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
