Tube quilt Tote
#1
I have tried the tube quilt blocks before, but messed them up. At the quilt show a couple of weeks ago I bought the triangle ruler. Messed it up at firs too (just consider me a slow learner - my knitting is proof of that!).
So Sunday I decided to try again. After all, its the only way to learn. So I gave it another shot. Messed up one or 2 then got the rest right. Waaahooo! :)
So I used 3 of the four I made and decided to try a tote. I'm not very good at linings so that took a little work. But it turned out ok I think. No pattern. I've kinda made my own stuff up ever since I was a teen and used to sew things by hand from old jeans or scraps of fabric I could snag from my mom.
I practiced my fmq on this, and also practiced putting a stencil on and trying to fmq over the pattern. I'm getting better (I think) but I need tons more practice.
Thanks for looking.
So here are the pics:
