Never mind I'm pleased with what I did get done in the end. I'm happy to say the Kindle cover is finished, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It's amazing what you can do with a few scraps of fabric that might otherwise have ended up in the rubbish pile.
You might remember that this was the starting point, some random blue strips woven together, and just a little bit of work later and I ended up with this.
I'm now going to be able to take my kindle out and about in my bag without fear of it getting damaged or scratched up.
The hand stitching took a bit of time, but I think it was worth the effort. And thanks to Terri's brilliant instruction (see link in yesterday's post) the zip that I was worrying so much about went in nice and easily.
And the kindle fits in just perfectly.
This has got finished just in time as I'm going away next weekend so my kindle will now be coming with me :)If you have been reading my blog you may have seen my posting about the red and white quilt I'm working on, quite a few people mentioned that it would make a great quilt for the rainbow challenge and yes it really would, but somehow I just don't know what I'd do with 12 of them :) Anyhow my favourite part of the quilt is the chequer board block so I figured I'd make myself a few blocks each month and have a rainbow quilt just for myself at the end of the year. So here are the blue blocks.
Now I'm off to do some blog hopping to see what everyone else has been doing in the rainbow challenge this week.

You've been really creative !
Told you you'd be ok with the zip, lol. It's a lovely colour, and you are going to have a wonderful quilt at the end of the year. Unfortunately, I have to catch up on housework today, so I won't be getting much time to play, but I'm looking forward to next month's colour
wow!! this is great...
Really great things you made out of the blue scraps!
