Quiet Book Exchange - Binding the Quiet Book



I think I'm a wee bit obsessed with quiet books. I participated in another quiet book exchange and got all the pages last night. I decided to try binding them a little differently then last time, when I used binder rings. This time I followed this tutorial from Project Mama. to create an actual binding and then a cover.

My pages from the exchange are larger then what she created here so I had to improvise the measurements. My binding piece of fabric covered Pellon ended up being 12 x 8 and my cover pieces and batting were 26 x 15. I added a handle and pocket in the back from scrap to provide a way to hang with my other quiet books and some extra storage for pieces.

Here are a few pictures of the finished project.
