The light is not to good in my sewing room. So I apologize for the bad pictures.
What do you think?
Next weekend is a long weekend and I hope to find some time to get the borders on the quilt and get it quilted. When its all done I take it outside to take a picture. 


I hope you all have a great Sunday.

A bag and the start of a new Quilt

My sweet DIL wanted a new bag ever since she found those left over blocks in the scrap bin.
Today she came over real early to make it.
We played around a bit wondering how and what to add to make the bag happen.
Nadja my DIL, likes it with a lot of color. 
The blocks been a left over from a Quilt I made for Nadja
years ago with the 10" Batik squares  from a swap at Popular Patchwork.

It turned out great. At least I think so. Probably ending up making one for me too.
Than I started on a new Quilt. The pattern is from a Magazine from Czechoslovakia.
The patter is called Ledove Krystaly.
I don't understand a word they writing but the pictures are very good.
The measurements are in metric. Bummer, I usually work in inch but its coming along nicely.
Here are my first cuts and the first part of the block. 
The color is not right. I have to take the pictures in the day light next time.
so I hope I get more done this week.
I hope you all have a great Sunday.
