…stippling is a style of random-walk quilting. My friend Irene made some test pieces to fit the coverboards for me and this is the result of the experiment.
I had to get the batting (cushioning layer underneath the cloth) cut to size, leaving the extra cloth for folding over. I had some problem controlling the glue as I applied it to the boards… If there’s too much, the fabric gets stained.
The books are A6 size, 96 pages, hardcover, linen thread, Coptic-binding, handmade.

You can see what I mean by glue stains along the edges in this photo – glue seeping through the fabric.

The shiny silk surface seems to bring out the raised surfaces better. But I like the less flashy cotton one too.
