We made a lot of progress tonight on the quilt and if I buy batting, I could probably finish it tomorrow. You can't really tell from the photo but there are definitely some abnormalities about it including some square being a little...puckered? The ones that didn't sew perfectly square don't really lay flat. I got a little frustrated, but honestly I'm sure it'll look fine when it's done. Made with love, right? That's the point of this little project. Unfortunately, baby Brooklyn has a lot of really crafty family members so she's probably going to have some nicer stuff than this, but at least it's soft and photographs pretty well.
Finished cutting the pattern pieces for my tote bag, so I hope to start that Wednesday. I'm less thrilled with my fabric choices now that I see the way it's come together. I'm drawn to fabrics on light backgrounds, but find that they don't seem to do well for bags. I steered clear of this for the other bag I bought fabric for (which, by the way, my sewing tutorial says not to buy for more than one project at a time, and this is probably why - learning curve). Still, it'll probably be nice. And if not, I'll send it to my niece. She likes anything new and has a real thing for handbags.
