Here is the friendship bag I finished today. It is part of an ugly fabric challenge...but I don't think the fabric is ugly! I used the "ugly" fabric in the strips, the bottom and the lining.
I used the tutorial from psiquilt. This photo shows when it was ready to quilt. I used Bosal to make the bag stiffer than batting.
Right sides clipped together to sew the lining and the bag.
I took the plastic insert out of my sewing table to make joining the two pieces sooooo much easier. I have made bags before and have never thought of taking out that plastic piece. I am mentioning this because there might be others who haven't thought of it.
In this photo I used a flash to get a brighter photo.
This photo is the hourglass with 2 borders in the Gypsy Wife quilt I am making. I joined the 2019 Gypsy Wife quiltalong. It just started this last Saturday.
This is a simple block to make.....we have great tutorials in this group to help everyone.
I had to take a photo of the back...."spin" the seam to make the seams lay down so nice.
The last photo I call scrappy strips around the cabin blocks. I am using up scraps to do log cabin style piecing and the blocks will be different sizes.
