Friday check in: SAHRR, a bag created, and a bag rescued

 

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. 

That was my downstairs studio sewing today.  (Remember that I've set up a sewing station in the living room so that Stevens doesn't have to go downstairs when we watch TV together in the evening.)  My upstairs sewing was a bunch more sliced batik blocks (continuing the sliced blocks from SAHRR round 4).  I found a ziploc back with batik half-rectangles, scraps from a long-ago project.   I sewed them all up.   Trimming can wait until Friday evening.

We're going to have an adventure tomorrow.  Come back on Monday for the report.
