Last Autumn (sheesh! Has it been that long???), at the urging (temptress-ness) of Angela<\/a> I joined the Crafty Gemini 8th Bag club. I liked the bags and some of the techniques I would learn, so it was a good idea. I tried to keep up, but cutting (which you know I dislike) really kept me from keeping up. I made the Flagler backpack<\/a> and that was it.<\/p>\n

Sunset Project Bag cut out and quilted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Sunset Project Bag has been on my mind and I finally started it. Cutting, of course, takes me so long. I tried get into a Zen frame of mind about, but almost lost it when I realized I had to quilt a bunch of pieces, too. I started and then after four lines of stitching, I decided to vary the design to leave a 1.5 inch space between four lines of stitching. I really like the way that design turned out. I think it looks like I actually know how to design quilting designs rather than just wanting to get it over faster.<\/p>\n

I just did straight line quilting horizontally along the gussets. I didn’t want to stop and start after 20 stitches over a 35 inch wide piece.<\/p>\n

Sunset Project Bag – fussy cutting?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I lined up the pieces and noticed that it looks like I fussy cut some pieces to fit together well.<\/p>\n

Those pieces don’t go together and I didn’t plan it, but it would be nice if they did.<\/p>\n

I am in the process of sealing the edges of the quilted pieces and will be ready to start assembly soon. There aren’t very many pieces so I should be able to finish quickly. Fingers crossed anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
