It is a composition book I purchased at Dollar General.. I measured it and cut out the cover fabric with a 2 inch allowance.. I then cut out the batting the same size as the composition book.. I did the block and appliquéd it to the cover material and batting... I used a glued stick to glue it all to the composition notebook with a small bead of hot glue on the outer edges of the book.. On the inside I measured a 9x6 in finished block and hot glued it down with a small bead.. I wanted the inside of the book is also finished...

I picked up some 1.5 x .5 inch tabs.. I will include 5 of them in an envelope inside the book so she can decide for herself how to divide it and how many pages for her sections..
