Don't Panic! tablet sleeve

For the Project Quilting "Across the Universe" challenge, I decided to make a sleeve for my Nook tablet in the style of Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

 

Er, I mean, this item is designed to protect The Guide from damage. It's repurposed from a towel, which is the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker could carry. Never be without a towel! I quilted the towel to batting and appliqued the cover with the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. It's lined with fabric featuring Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters (and other alcoholic delicacies served at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe).

 

The final piece measures 8.5" x 12" - my name is Trisha Frankland, and I live and quilt in Lodi, Wisconsin (until I hitch my next ride, anyway). I have never been called Trillian.
