i wanted/needed (what the difference?) an instant gratification project. so i made this nice large tote. its an Atkinson Designs pattern from their Big Bags, Little Bags book. i am not sure how to describe the fabric that i made it out of but i found it at Joann’s & it was only $2.99/yard. it the type of material that the reusable grocery bags are made out of only tougher.
this really isn’t a WIP item. it might be someday but as of now i prefer to call it a weak moment. i randomly check the Missouri Star Quilt Company’s Daily Deal page to see what they have on special. needless to say one day it was a Sherbet Pips jelly roll & of course it was on sale so it found its way to my house.
not sure what i will make with it but it is yummy.
i finished my 1st quilt top for the H2H Challenge. i didn’t follow a pattern. my goal was to use any much of the fat quarter’s that i was given as possible. i have 2 small pieces left & they will be pieced into the back of the quilt.
my other sewing accomplishment this past week was finishing up these star blocks for my Opening Day quilt. i got the last few finished last night & laid them out on the floor. i still have some tweaking to do with the layout but overall i am pleased.
what project are you sewing on? i would love to hear about it

you did good on your H@H quilt. I am almost finished piecing mine. That bag is great, love the colors. I have some laminated Central Park that I want to make into bag.

Your tote looks great (especially since the fabric was so inexpensive). And I love the colors of your star quilt. It's beautiful.

OMG! You've Already finished your first H2H quilt top?!! And made a gorgeous bag?!! And worked on those stars?!! I am in awe!! Good on you partner, lol. The batik quilt top is Gorgeous! You have done very well!! Can't wait to see what you come up with the Humingbird fabrics I sent you!
My fabric is yet to come – though I haven't been able to get onto any sewing this past week so that's okay. The public holidays over here (5-day long weekend with an extra day for ANZAC day rememberance!) will have interferred with that. I've also got a few charm packs and a jelly roll of my own that I ordered last week to come to me that I am waiting on.
Hoping them – and my car – will be here to use next week!

Great bag and love the H2H quilt top. I'm a sucker for stars, geese, and pinwheels. That quilt could find a home here. Well done.
