FNSI and a Challenge was issued

By my Saturday quilt group.    Each year we have a Christmas in July challenge but it was decided to change it around this year and have a French theme to coincide with Bastille Day.  Anything could be made as long as it was French related.

As our July meeting is approaching it was time to make a start.   A rummage through the stash revealed these two fat quarters.

Now to make something from this limited amount of fabric.   Thinking cap on and the result is

There was a small amount of both fabrics left and I also found another piece that belonged to the fabric group.

 

This extra fabric along with the left overs then allowed me to make a zippered pouch with a boxed bottom.   The introduced fabric had to be used as a whole piece for the back of the pouch.     Here are all four pieces together.

It will be interesting to see what the other group members come up with.  

When joining in with FNSI I got to work on my next potato chip block in this month's RSC colour of orange.   

Also finished off during the week were 4 orange library bags.    Orange is not my favourite colour so not much is in the stash.  

That about wraps up my week in the sewing room.   I have still not been able to access my original blog so will continue on with Part 2 and maybe one day a solution will be found.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing  all
