On Point Dog Quilt

My 1st fat quarter bundle purchased 2024 leftovers. Made my dog a pet size On Point quilt using a YouTube tutorial (2 charm packs on point picnic quilt). Moda fat quarters bundle Stacy Iest Hsu ABCxyz. Quilting Serpentine stitch, Aurifil in yellow, Gutermann in tan. Binding Art Gallery Fabric. Backing Moda. Batting scrap/leftover Hobbs polydown pieced in 2, so batting didn't cost me anything! I've cut out another baby quilt, then I cut the remainder into 2.5 inch mini charms for when I next have coordinating scraps.



Remainder scrap quilt, also added Art Gallery Fabric and white on white.

Quilt Bags!

Sewed some canvas storage bags for individual quilts. It took me a day just to do the binding and I used pre-made binding this time.  I store my quilts in cotton canvas bags and ran out. Same pattern as the bags I made for storing fat quarters last year.

The lining is vintage cotton seersucker! Listing said 1960s. Then for the zip ends, I used never worn (purchased 2018) made in Uk earrings - one for each bag, and separated the orange on the other zip. 

No interfacing for these ones, as I was just after quilt dust covers. I made the bag strap with light interfacing, and also used 1 inch cotton twill tape inside. The seams are finished then butted in the centre of the bottom, then zigzagged. Last time I cut the width wide enough to double fold, as the pattern is designed for turning the handle inside out and that doesn't work well with canvas.

Rico cotton canvas purchased 2023 originally for making a jacket.
