Windmills at Night.
I finished making tops from my Magic Stack N Whack. I thought that if I made one top it would be too big for me to quilt on my own so I put 4 blocks together and made 2 quilts from the 8 blocks.
Quilt Number One
Quilt Number Two
The borders of both quilts are the same colour although they don't look it. It is black with a swirl in it, and it turns gray when I take a picture.
A few years ago I made an Easter Egg Tree table topper so I decided this year that I needed some placemats to go with it. I wanted them bright with some of the fabric from the Easter Tree. The only fabric I had on hand was from the border and binding, so I used it on the placemats.
The center square is from the same line and I also cut the side borders from that fabric. I fussy cut the center square and then had to scrounge fabric for the side borders. I had barely enough to make my four placemats.
I also put together a new purse. Linda G took the Bag Class and asked about making a bag with a gusset for the zipper. She found a pattern and I said I would give it a try. It turns out that it is not a true gusset but fabric added to the zipper so it is a false gusset.
I think if I made it again I would make it wider and not as deep. but I am happy with it and have used it a few times already. Since mine is all one colour it is a little more dressy than the original.
