OMG finished

Beleive it or not I have completed my OMG April goal! Yay!

Here is little tip for you. I add my binding on prior squaring the quilt. The backing is stretchy and it is much easier to work with it this way.

Yeah right, I don't really square my quilts. Once you have some pattern and border I rather go by visual appearance than perfectly square quilt.

See no puckers. I quilted some parts by hand. Only two layers - top and batting plus simple echo pattern quilting with zigzag stitch once backing added.

Plus the material is kind of messy once you cut into it. That's why I left it to the very end.

I used zigzag stich on binding as well. It deserves some extra photo shoot so stay tuned for more pics of the whole quilt :)

Le Challenge - fine

Let's try something new for Le Challenge. The theme is FINE.

I bought new bracelet and I thought I could make some too. I used leather scraps. I consider leather as a fine material.

It's pretty easy. I made two because I like to make two at the time. I can either give it to someone or wear them separately or both at the same time. We'll see.

I used baby press buttons as closure

The color of leather I used matches with my new hair. Coincidence? Not really :)

There is fine line between genius and insanity.

2016 - Q2 FAL list

I'm taking different approach this time around. Instead of making my Q2 FAL list crazy long I only kept those projects with progress made.

My Q1 score is 2/10

Surprise surprise there are only rainbow projects on my list.

#1 Disco quilt - my friend loaded it onto her long arm. We have change things up and I'm so excited about it. I hope to share all details soon.

#2 DM quilt - note to self. FINISH that thing! :) So snugly even with the pins on.

#3 cushion - I need a cushion to go with the quilt right? Yeah, exactly!

OMG April

Let's face it. I did not meet my March goal. Am I going to choose the same one? No! I'll go with one even more ambitious.

I'm going to finish my DM quilt. Yeah! I read my horoscope and I'll have a great month! :) :D

Here is full pic in case you do not remember it.

Late duo

Last week I started two pouches for LeChallenge theme Reading. I thought some newspaper print would be suitable but I finished them yesterday. Only 5 days past due  :)

I wanted to try new type of pouch. Inspired by @elnorac and her #jellyfreedomzipperpouchtutorial I prepared two rectangles. For some reason I like to make 2 at the time which was really handy this time around. The above pic shows that I do not measure much.

You get a second chance on making it right though. See I marked the middle on the second one! While making it I realized I don't really like to bind around a pouch and I prefer boxed corners so I changed things up. I actually didn't have #jellyfreedomzipper but I used regular endless zipper. When you open it you have 2 sets for 2 pouches. Perfect!

I really like the look the loop creates. Only the zipper ends are a bit twisted. I do have some plans on exploring this type of pouch but no idea when.

Here is closeup of the zipper beginning and boxed corner. No seam at that part. It's made out of 1 rectangle.

When I choose lining it must match in some way. This time I matched with the hot pink zipper in case you are wondering, lol.
