Five Friday finishes

I made some pouches with this great Melody Miller typewriter print

in a linen/cotton blend.

It it trimmed with a wheat coloured linen and a handdyed cotton.

The back has the word Qwerty free motioned on it.

And I found another typewriter print in cotton for another set of pouches.

The back has the same grey and white typewriter keys as the trim on the front.

My mother is a long time quilter and teacher

but lately has been knitting more for her church's prayer shawl ministry.

She also cleaned out her stash to the bare minimum

so I gave it new life with a couple of quilt kits I put together.

The top was a sale price jelly roll paired with a half hexie ruler.

I put together this kit for her birthday last month.

I cut large HSTs with my Accuquilt Go cutter, which finish at 6 inches.

I had purchased the fabric months earlier for this purpose, but then stalled on the project.

These are bright, large prints, with 40 HST in each colour.

Two weeks later, she's sewn all the HST together 

and is now pondering designs.

I took this photo for everyone who asks me about waste from a die cutter.

This is what was left from four metres of fabric cut into half square triangles.

Some slivers and those 1.5 inch bits at the bottom.

Here is the completed log cabin top before the backing went on.

I quilted wavy diamonds on it with my walking foot .

I quilted it to a flannel backing at a recent sew-in,

and my partners-in-crime squared it off and trimmed it for me.

It is waiting for the perfect binding,

which ironically I may have to buy.

Everything else came from the scrap bin on this project.
