Challenge 4 of Project Quilting is "A Novel Project."
The challenge is to be inspired by a book I've read.
One of the examples shown was an e-reader sleeve, which ALSO inspired me - I decided to make a pouch for the Kindle Paperwhite I got for Christmas.
For the novel: I chose to do Marcellus from Remarkably Bright Creatures.
For a pattern, coloring pages from the Monterey Bay Aquarium came in handy.
A bit of Wonder-Under and fusing, and it was time to quilt.
Through pure dumb luck, there was a part of the pattern in the octopus batik that looks like an eye!
Lightly quilted, then sewn into a pouch and lined with terry cloth.
My lovely older daughter suggested adding a key- and she was highly amused when I added an ACTUAL key.
At any rate- it's done, and the Kindle actually fits in it very well!

This is so cool and the key is brilliant!
