Today I decided to start making a cover for my new desk journal out of some cutter quilt pieces.
Book covers are a good way to use vintage textiles that are too old or fragile to withstand repeated washings. I like keeping quilted jackets on my journals, too, especially when they have pretty art on the original covers.
While I was piecing together the journal I also handwashed the 70-ish-year-old patchwork I removed from the top of the hidden quilt to see if it would hold together.
It looks a bit shredded, but there are still some patches I can reuse.
