After the almost-year-and-a-half that was Triangle Madness, I feel like I’m making up for it with speedy projects.
Inspired by the Tangerine Tango challenge and some adorable bundles of Lizzy House’s newest line, Outfoxed, I decided to make an orange-and-plum quilt using Jeni’s Plus Quilt tutorial. I cut the squares on Tuesday and the (not small!) quilt top was done by Sunday! Oh, man, that was super satisfying and fast! Now I just need to order a bit more fabric to make the back, and I may have another finished quilt on the books.
And speaking of fast finishes, last night I got it in my head that I needed a new little zippered pouch for my credit cards. A regular wallet just feels too bulky, I like to be able to throw something small in my jacket pocket when I’m dashing into Target with three kids in tow. A quick look at Cara’s tutorial, and about 10 minutes later I had this cute little gray and orange number.
It’s not perfect, but for a quick grab out of the stash and a few minutes at the sewing machine, it’s perfectly cute and functional. Win!
Any quick projects going on in your world, friends?
Can’t wait to see! I’m using some of those outfoxed fabrics for a purple (red-purple but not quite plum, or maybe I do have plums in there… Anyways) and orange and pink and grey number for my newest babe. I can’t seem to get enough of that color combo.
I do have a few quick finishes so far this year, much to my surprise. One is in the washer.
I hope to show it off tomorrow on my blog.
