Puffin Folder Cover

This is my completed folder cover!  Let me talk you through the steps.....

First of all, get a lovely friend to unexpectedly gift you a frame of mini hexies made of bird prints, and a puffin print panel. (thank you so much, Benta!  I absolutely love them!).

Apply the frame to the puffin print to the best of your ability.

Pull your folder of patchwork notes / patterns / scraps of papers with quilting designs on, and decide to make a cover for it.

Apply the puffin and hexie panel to the seagull fabric that you bought for another project and forgot to us (see post from two weeks ago!).

Try to keep it straight!

Back with some 'frankenbatting' (wadding scraps, for example from quilt edge trimmings, sewn together to make a larger piece) and quilt.

Trim (in this case to 13.5" x 23"), add a lining piece of the same size, and two 'wings' of 13.5" x 8" folded WST and pressed).  Place the larger peices RST with the 'wings' between them and pin.  Sew around the outside.

Trim the corners, turn through, and top stitch close to the edge.

Ta-da!  You have completed your folder cover!
 

I'm so pleased with it!  It's a perfect fit, and a lovely cover to a well used folder.
