Project Quilting Challenge 9.6

This is my entry for Project Quilting Challenge 9.6.
The theme for this one is SCRAPtastic, and you had to use 12 different fabrics in your project.  I made a scrappy cover for my little note pad that I carry around in my pocketbook.

 I started out with an assortment of blue, aqua & purple scraps.
 Then sewed them together and trimmed them off wonky before I added the next strip.
 Then I trimmed the edges.
 Added a backing fabric.
 Sewed around the edges and turned right side out.
 I then turned under the two short edges to make flaps to slip the notebook in to hold it on.

Project Quilting 9.5

Another last minute entry for me. This week's theme was A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.  I had some extra squares for a nine patch cut out, so I saved them from the scrap pile. The center was traditionally pieced, and the star points were paper pieced.

 I forgot to take a pic of the 9-patch alone
