First, measure the distance between both flap panels when they’re layered on the book cover (Fig. 5). Add about 2″ to each side for full coverage to get your total width; the length will be the same as the book cover and flap panel lengths. This example is cut 10″-wide. Cut the spine panel and place it on the layered flap panels and book ...
The text in black applies to both versions, purple is for the art quilty ones, and green for the more traditional. First you need to make your pattern. This is easier than it sounds.

Step 1: Measure Your Book Cover
The first thing you need to do is take a soft flexible measuring tape (like the kind used to measure a person’s waist). Measure around the spine of the book, from the edge of the front cover to the edge of the back cover. That is your width. Then use your tape measure to measure the height of the book along the front cover vertically. This is your height.
Step 2: Quilt Your Journal Cover
Please note that there is no quilted backing on this project.

If you want to keep things super simple you can of course cut one piece of exterior fabric for your outer cover and just quilt it down to your batting. But what I have done (as usual) is utilize this project to use up some fabric scraps! I start by placin...
Step 3: Attach the Journal Cover Flaps
The flaps are the bits on the side that keep your book, journal or notebook inside the fabric cover, sometimes called a book sleeve. These will be tucked away on the inside cover.

Place the raw edge of that folded piece of fabric along the side edges of each end of your fabric cover (the short edges). Your folded edges for each flap shou...

You can use straight-line quilting or vary your stitches for each scrap!For the side flaps, the width of each piece should be at least 7″, but it can be longer if you are covering a very large book or you like a deeper flap. So anywhere between 7″-10″.I have made these flaps a bit stiffer occasionally by using medium weight fusible interfacing. Fuse it to just one side of your folded flap and cut the layer of interfacing 1/2″ smaller around the...- (3)
