The quilting project I showed a couple of days ago was supposed to be a tote bag. Now, in knitting, we are admonished to read the instructions ALL THE WAY through before starting a project. I now know that quilting is the same. I very carefully made and quilted together the outside, the batting, and the lining of each side of the bag. I should have read a little farther. The lining was NOT supposed to be attached to the outside of the bag. It would later be constructed envelope-style and turned inside out. SIGH!
So, I have cut each side of the bag into two pieces, each just the right size for a placemat and Scotty is going to teach me how to sew binding. Not a total loss, but I will eventually have to start giving away some of these place mats!!
Here's the colorway for the blocks in the new tote:
So, do you get the idea that I like jewel tones? Note this are very similar colors to the hand-dyed yarn I'm doing my shawl with. Yup. Love those jewel tones!
Not reading directions all the way through is a sign of great something. I"m sure of it. I suffer from the same malady!
