Quilted book cover
 
4 Attachment(s)
I found this pattern in "Quilt Almanac 2012" and decided to make it for my chronological Bible. This was my first adventure into 'machine quilting', and I used a curvy line, since the fabric didn't lend itself to a simple crosshatch. It's not perfect, but I am happy with it. :) It was actually my first project in awhile that didn't cause a lot of swearing. :)

It also has handles for carrying. I like that you can easily fold them in if you don't need to carry it. :)

The inside, with coordinating 'pockets' to keep the book in place.

Really like this - I've got to make one for myself. You did a fabulous job on it.

What a comforting cover for a most well used book

Very pretty and practical. I have a few favourites in my book collection that could do with covers....another thing to add to the "to do" list.
