Scrappy Saturday - Pinks - Part 2

This week, I cut deeper  into the scrappy strata.

Here are the pieces and parts 

for a quilt-to-be that I've nicknamed

Fruit Loops.

I'm afraid that name will probably stick.

We'll see.

I also cut and pieced the scrappy flying geese

for a quilt-to-be that I've named

The Eclectic Goose.

I decided that I didn't like the scrappy brown side strips ~

so they have been removed from the January geese.

I'll wait until later in the year to design the rest of the project.

The big finish for this week is the monthly journal cover!

Here is the inside.

And here is the outside.

The black and white polka dot print was a scrappy section

shared with me by my good friend Lynne of The Patchery Menagerie

when she transferred custody for a box of her orphans and orts.

(we've done this before - see here and here for examples)

I sliced the pieced panel and inserted the horizontal pink bands,

then added more fabrics to the ends for the flaps.

Here is the filled journal  as seen from the front edge.

And this is the view looking at the spine.

I use Wanda Hanson's tutorial for making my covers.

(If you haven't visited Wanda's blog, Exuberant Color, 

you really need to spend some time checking out her work.)
