Q1 - Animal blocks into bag


I looked at my FAL list - here to see if there is something else I would be able to finish. The end of March is approaching fast. I would really like to get rid of those animal blocks I made almost two years ago. One of my fav patterns to use is lunch bag by Ayumi. I make different sizes based on the fussy cut or in this case block size. It turned out a bit tall though.


I ran out of fusible interfacing I'm usually using so on one side I used non fusible batting and quilted it. I love the puffy look the pig gained.  For the bottom section I add extra layer of interfacing to give the bag sturdy shape. The bag is empty while taking pics. It stands nicely on its own. I do not use any interfacing on lining. I use cheap local cotton fabric which works just fine.




So that's my finish #6 out of 10.
Finish Along 2014


Not all my projects are coming to an end. My March goal will be a failure. I sewed the triangles together so I have half hexagons now. I plan to incorporate some cubes into the layout and it'll take more time. I started with the easiest one. It might look big on the picture but the size of triangles used is a bit more than 4" and this layout is only a half of the required size. 


I also played with fire and prepared few flowers for some house pouches in progress. The grass is ready as well. I only need to get my act together :-)

    You've made a super little bag there, just the thing for a little girl to carry her lunch, or gym shoes to school. The hexagons are terrific, but I wouldn't get them finished quickly either; when I work really small like that I need to go off and do something really big to give myself a break. Enjoy your sewing.

    What a great use of those cute blocks, Vera. I love the Charlotte's Web theme and that pink checked flower fabric really pulls it all together perfectly. Your kaleidoscope hand work is coming along nicely. Love the addition of the cubes into the design! Can't wait to see more of the house pouches!

    I like where your hexagons are going -- check out a photo of cubes introduced into a similar quilt -- it's a friend's quilt and I included it in my blog today -- http://maryhueyquilts.blogspot.com/2014/03/a-few-more-finished-quilts.html#.UzK8ZKbD8dU -- it might give you some inspiration!

    6/10 completions - I'd say that's pretty darn good! I love the Charlotte's Web tote - so cute :) The hexies and house embellishments are coming along nicely too - I imagine your 2nd quarter finishes are going to be pretty spectacular!

    The bag is so neat!
    Triangles into hexagons...not that looks hard.

    I love the pig bag. If it's a little tall then that means you don't have to lean over to pick it up.....works for me. You're doing better on your finishes then me. I'm 1 our of 2. 6 out of 10 is great. I LOVE the way the flower and cube quilt is coming along. The organza flowers are lovely. I haven't made those in ages. I'm thinking it might be fun to make more. It's probably the only way I'd get a candle lit evening.....lol.
