I used the printed fabric that I got at an estate sale on Saturday, some furniture fabric from the thrift store and part of a sleeve from a blouse I got from my aunt Mimi. A sweet gift arrived in the mail for me this past weekend and I decided to send a thank you by converting this art journal quilt into a journal book cover. Here you see the front of the cover. 
I lined the inside with batting and a layer of the fruity print fabric, and used yellow cotton I got at a garage sale on Saturday for the notebook cover to fit into...I added a small note book inside for writing...or drawing...or it could also be used to contain a small pocket book ...
Here is the back! Don't you just love photos of art taken in nature? I do. ;-))
I top stitched the quilt/cover free motion style. Added grommets and string for a closure.
This was my first ever endeavor of this sort, but it was pretty easy so I see it as a nice way to use my
art journal quilts and might convert more of them!!!
