Dice bags finished (post #4)

I did get our dice bags finished last year. This is the first one I did with a pocket on the lining and the paper piecing page for my next block.



And here it is all finished and standing up nicely to put dice in.

 

I ended up making my son's bag next because that foundation pattern looked intimidating. I did fusible raw edge applique'. It came out better than expected and I had more fun doing it than I expected.


 They all have ribbon drawstring closures and a flat pocket inside for the trading cards. I'm quite proud of this next one. Its a 5 inch finished square.


It was tough but fun. The shading could've been a lot better but I still like the glow I achieved. Next time I can plan it better and blow up the pattern bigger to make it easier. 


These are really great little bags. You can find all the details on where I got the patterns from on the first post here: Post #1You can personalize these with blocks or applique', change the size or leave out the lining and use them as gift bags or treat bags or for yourself.

Happy sewing!

The quilt with two names

I've known about this quilt forever. I originally read about it on the Quilting Board way before I'd seen the Jelly Roll Race or the 1600 inch quilt. You can find the original post here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutorials-f10/super-fast-jelly-roll-quilt-t44258.html   I recommend you wade through it because there are a lot of nice examples. On page 7 is a picture tutorial and somewhere in there is a discussion of making different sizes and using different widths. She used to have a PDF printout for free but you could just print the first page.  Anyways, I used my JoAnn's, 20 strip jelly roll to try this out.  I wanted to also separate the strips by piecing squares in between them. I really like that look for this quilt so I chose a crazy scrap I had laying around and cut twenty 2 1/2 inch squares. The jelly roll had only ten different fabrics, 2 strips of each, so I pieced squares on one end of each strip. I should clarify, you need to piece strips ...
