You might say I’m a bit behind with my Journal Quilts. I’m supposed to finish one every month…it’s now March and I still have to finish the first two quilts. I did only decide to join the challenge a day or so before the deadline (February 15), does that count as an excuse? Anyway, here’s my first almost finished Journal Quilt:

Almost finished because I still have to add some sort of binding (and a tunnel, and a label). I used batik fabric, fusible web for the raw edge applique, and then lots of stitching with my beautiful Wonderfil threads, in this case Tutti (blue/yellow) and Mirage (red/purple). The batting is 80/20 fusible Hobbs.
