quilt your book-cover...........

prepare the second backing fabric....iron a piece of wonder-under on the left side
and cut a slot, that will be the opening for turning the little quilt inside-out.....
Posted by Picasa

lay the top and the second backing right sides together and sew with
1/4" seam allowance all around....
Posted by Picasa

turn the quilt inside out and remove the wonder-under paper.......

close the slot by ironing....

turn one side(where there is no bating) to the roight side od the quilt......
Posted by Picasa

and hand-stitch the little seam on both sides....thread has to be in the same colour than
the right side of the quilt, so the seam will be invisible from the right side....
Posted by Picasa

slip your book inside........

and measure the other side of the book...mark with a pin.....
Posted by Picasa

sew again this last two seams by hand and a coordinating thred colour....
