Oriental Big Block Instructions

September Program: Petal Bags

Vickie led the group in a quick and easy project, Petal Bags, to carry and store 'stuff' in.  We all need more 'stuff' storage, don't we?

The bags were quick, easy and fun to make. Most of the guild members left with at least one finished bag at the end of the evening.

The blue/batik bag was made with 18" squares of fabric, the tiny ones were made with 10"  squares, and the red/green one was made with 15"(ish) squares.

Thank you, Vickie - what a fun project!

Half Hexagon Table Runner

YouTube video demonstrating the layout - not using the Go Cutter, but the construction's the same:
Friendship Braid Quilt Idea Using Half Hex Ruler 

Betty shared her large half hex die, and we each brought 4 fat quarters to cut. Each FQ is enough for 8 half-hex shapes; this is enough for a decently-sized table runner or a really long skinny runner :-)

Dina completed one strip of zig-zags during the meeting. Phyllis is working on  the fabrics in the foreground.

Fran got a good start on her layout.
