I've had a productive day and a half!
This is month #7 for the guild BOM. The February house block is in the center with its predecessors around it.
SAHRR with round #5, quarter log cabins. They fit! I am very pleased with the way this is turning out.
I posted this photo on Monday. I intended to make wheelchair quilt (36 x 45). I finished the quilting--just an easy swirl, no sweat. When I trimmed the edges I trimmed one long side TOO much and it looked.....not right. I could have bound it "not right" and given it away; who would know? I would. I could have kept it as a UFO muttering at me. I didn't do either of those things.
Ta da! I made a large tote bag to take quilts or flimsies to guild meetings (and other things to other places). I trimmed two edges and used those pieces for the handles.
We're going to have an adventure tomorrow. Come back on Monday for the report.

Those large tote bags really come in handy. This was a great save of the quilt.
ReplyDeletenice fix for the stars...and a lovely bag to boot....yes i like the SAHRR so far...the turquoise really gives it zip...adventure? ooh lucky gal (i hope)...

I'm amazed at your productivity along with all your social activities (and caring for S). Good recovery on the Ohio Star project!
ReplyDeleteTerrific tote bag and far better than a UFO muttering at you from the closet!
ReplyDeleteSAHRR is looking fabulous Nann! Enjoy your tote bag :-)
ReplyDeleteYou should be pleased with your SAHRR - it's wonderful! And great save on the other quilt and I'm sure the bag will see lots of use.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm looking forward to hearing about your adventure!
The tote bag was a great way to use up that "not quite right" quilted piece! And it's so pretty! I love your SAHRR - everything is going together perfectly on it. Have fun on your adventure!
ReplyDeleteOh my, your SAHRR quilt is looking so amazing. Yes, I probably say that every week, but I absolutely love all the colors, shapes and “breathing room” for the eyes. Yes, yes, mixing my metaphors. Also, making a big tote for hauling quilts was absolutely inspired! It was meant to be.
ReplyDeleteThe medallion quilt is really beautiful, so much to see. Thanks for letting us watch it grow.

ReplyDeleteI love the way your SAHRR is turning out. I was blocked from seeing your blog, but finally fixed the router - ugh. I will go back and check your other SAHRR posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed by how much you have accomplished with your SAHRR. I agree, it is coming along nicely. What a great idea to turn the trim from your tote bag into handles.
ReplyDeleteYour SAHRR is fabulous! Love your tote bag too. We never get too many bags, do we?! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour SAHRR is looking great, Nann. I love the logs on point you used in the border! Thanks for linking up with us this year.
ReplyDeleteI love how you did that bag - that was a great save!!!
