A humbling day...........

I had this great idea.  I pulled out this leaf print and one the Brandon Mably prints and did a little bordered square, 3 times.

My first idea was to turn under 1/4" on all sides and applique it to strip piecing that had already been quilted.  That should be easy, right?  Well 2 tries later I still have a wonky applique, so I have to call this one my humble piece.  I thought I could do it.......

It was such a pretty piece of strip piecing too.  I probably won't sell this one. 

On the next one I pieced the square into the notebook cover.
That worked better.

This stripe is one of the Brandon Mably fabrics too.  I haven't used the third bordered square yet.

Then I used a wonky log cabin square that was a leftover and added some batik fabrics to it for the back and inside flaps.

I like this one.  Of course I like any of my crazy pieced and wonky log cabin squares made of batik fabrics.  I love piecing with crooked strips.

I had one more strip pieced Kaffe fabric section that I made into my final journal cover last night.  I did the wavy line quilting again on this one with red thread.

This was a simpler one to make but I like it just as well as the others.  So it was a good sewing day, a humbling day that not everything turns out as anticipated.
