I had a bit leftover and it is such pretty fabric that I thought I wouldn&#8217;t mind carrying it around for a couple of months. I also thought that it would be a good break between pieced journal covers. I loved Loved LOVED the Orange Crush journal cover so much that I am not yet sure another journal can live up to the wonderfulness.<\/p>\n<p>Using the tutorial I posted some time ago, this journal cover didn&#8217;t take long at all. The most time consuming part was piecing the inside. I used an old Pat Sloan fabric that was just a wee bit too small so I added a piece, which still didn&#8217;t make it large enough, so I added another. And so on for a frustrating half hour.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28657\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28657\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/wpid-wp-1438031164844.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28657\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/wpid-wp-1438031164844-300x239.jpeg\" alt=\"Fine Spring Day Journal cover - open\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/wpid-wp-1438031164844-300x239.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/wpid-wp-1438031164844-1024x815.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fine Spring Day Journal cover &#8211; open<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Eventually I succeeded and the journal cover came out fine.<\/p>\n<p>You may be wondering what happened to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/journal-cover-to-be\/\" target=\"_blank\">pink journal cover<\/a> I started?
