Make the Quilted Bible Cover: A Thoughtful Project with Created With Love Fabric -

Hello friends! This is Jennifer Long from Sew A Story. One of the things I enjoy most is designing projects that encourage creative intention and quiet time with our hands. The Quilted Bible Cover is a meaningful little project that lets you practice simple piecing while making something personal and beautiful.

Sized to fit a standard Bible, book, or journal, this padded cover wraps your pages in color, texture, and care. It also includes a built-in bookmark and an elastic loop to hold it all together.

What You’ll Love About This Project

The Quilted Bible Cover is made using 2 ½” squares, which makes it the perfect pattern for using precuts or your favorite scraps. The patchwork front and back panels allow you to highlight prints you love, and the piecing is small enough to feel approachable without being rushed.
You can customize the spine and inside pockets to match your book’s dimensions using a soft measuring tape. A few basic seams and some simple math are all it takes to make this project fit just right.

The original sample was sewn using the Created With Love fabric collection, including:

Created With Love 5-inch Stacker (5-19570-42)
C15976-SKY for the spine
C15970-GRASS for the lining and pockets

You will also need:

Lightweight fusible interfacing
Fusible fleece
1/8″ elastic
A small button for closure
Optional: tassel for the bookmark

Small Project, Big Impact

This is the kind of project that fits easily into your week and makes a meaningful gift. Whether you are making it for yourself, a child starting school, a friend from church, or someone who journals daily, the Bible Cover becomes a quiet expression of care.

You can quilt the outer panel or keep it simple. You can use novelty prints for a child or select muted tones for a calming look. With a built-in bookmark and full lining, it feels complete and thoughtful from the inside out.
