The first row of Red Poppies is done.
The blocks themselves are 12" finished, and there will be 5 rows of 4 blocks for this quilt. That poppy fabric just makes me smile because it's so pretty.
The vinyl front project bags requested by some DAR members are seeing progress. I had prepped 3 of them with this star fabric. One is done, and the other 2 just need the binding stitched down. The light caused a glare when I took this picture.
I also prepped 2 more using different patriotic prints. That top one is kind of western theme plus patriotic, and I think I have enough for a second one like it. It was a half yard cut that I found at Walmart. The bottom one is a more modern take on patriotic - with a red/blue ombre. I know there is enough of both those fabrics for another one like it. That navy binding on the right is what was left from the first 3 bags.
Today I'm taking a break from sewing and from household tasks. I attended my granddaughter's orchestra concert last night, and stayed overnight in Sioux Falls because I have a follow-up cardiology appointment early this afternoon. I didn't want to drive home last night and turn around to come back hours later. That gives me this morning to do some shopping at my leisure, without feeling rushed.
Love the bags!! I just used one of mine last night for a class project.
ReplyDeleteThose red poppy blocks look great. What a fun pattern for featuring a large print. The vinyl project bags are really fun. You found some great fabrics to make those from. Enjoy your shopping day and hope the appointment goes well.
