QR code I can't beleive it
My niece has been living with her boyfriend for 15 years. They have two children and they are well established and have lots of fun projects. A week ago, I was told that they decided to get married and they will invite just a few people and I am invited. Now, what do you get them for a gift.... My brother says: no gift, as they have all they want, guests will only pay for their meal and that's it, just a fun reunion.
After reading all the info I could find here on the board and being inspired by some quilters here who posted pictures of their quilt or /and labels made of QR code I thought it would be a good practice for me and a unique "something" for them. I say "something" as I am not allowed to bring a gift loll
So, I decided I would just make them a bag (tote bag or grocery bag, I don't really know how to call it as my english lacks some vocabulary) and I decided to generate a QR code. It ended up being a 25 square grid. For a bag I thought 12 1/2 inches plus sides, top and bottom would do it. So I was determine to try it with 1/2 inch seam... What a trial for my scant 1/4 inch seam lolll
now I can work on making a bag

I'm jumping with joy right now because it works.

Your comments make me laugh. Yes this is not a gift.... *wink
Right Dunster, I could have written “it’s about time” loll
I know! I don't own a "smart" phone but after reading about it here on the board, I ask myself the same questions: How do you read it, how do you make it Thank you ladies for inspiring me
so here are some links where I learn about it.
In this first topic, there is a link to “how to make a QR code” with (in step one) a link for a QR code generator, it takes an app for your smart phone to be able to read it. I borrowed my husband's phone. I had to see to believe it because otherwise, the 2 color squares and rectangles don't make sense, it is like a "modern" quilt pattern.
Thank you so much ladies for having inspiring me to try something new. Here some of them
