I always quilt the covers as practice for free motion quilting (FMQ.) The quilting may not be perfect but it is is fun to do and helps with my skill in FMQ. There are no process photos because I get involved and forget to take them.
For the front, I used a block that was in my "whatever" pile. That is the pile of blocks that I have pieced but had no real plan to make something specific.
For the back I used a larger chunk of fabric and quilted a large flower on it.
Inside the front there is a pocket for a pen or whatever - maybe a dollar or two to buy a snack.
Now, I need to be starting the food for the Thanksgiving festivities! Happy holiday.

Love all of these, and the one I bought from you especially. Your FMQ is better than a long arm!
Me, too!! Love these - and the ones that I bought from you. That's a good idea to use your "whatever" blocks and to practice your FMQ - it's like three birds with one stone - haha. And I think I have some of the batik that you used for the pocket - it's a really pretty one - ;))
This looks good.....always a good practice piece too. And then you have a gift on hand to share.
This is a very nice one, Gene. Your FMQ is fantastic. You definitely have the eye of an artist.
