Paranoid!

Bloke bought me a Kindle for my birthday earlier this month and i am very paranoid about smashing the screen so i decided that wrapping it in a wolllen hat was no longer a suitable solution and decided to make a patchwork cosy for it :D

There's a particular quilt in the Japanese Quilt Inspirationsbook that i really like so i decided to base my Kindle cosy on it. Unfortunately the quilt block in the book comes out at 10" so i had to downsize using my maffematikal skillz :oD

It was actually a bit easier than i thought it would be and i soon had all the pieces cut out and ready to sew. Still on a part sewn seam kick i used them again for these blocks.

and then i sewed them all together...

And HEY PRESTO! I have a squishy double-fronted Kindle cosy which will hopefully protect it when it's in my handbag and stop the screen from being smashed in!!

That's the front, i really love the fabric with the cream background, it's so pretty <3

And that's the interior - the stripy fabric is from the same range as the Kaleidoscope Quilt that i was going to use as a border but once i saw the quilt top in progress i knew it wouldn't be right!

It's a very snug fit when Kindle is wearing it's silicone skin but i am very happy with it :o)
