I recently participated in a postage stamp block swap on Flickr. I decided to use a couple blocks to make these cute fabric boxes that I saw on pink Penguin blog. so I get started with my block, batting and backing brcause I'm used to making the quilt sandwich......duh I did it wrong because I need to leave the back off, do my FMQing then make the lining....So. I made a mug rug. I did some straight line stitching for the quilting, bound it and it was done.
I then started on my box again, this time doing it right. I practiced stitching in the ditch FMQ instead of using my walking foot. Then I did basic stipple in every other square. I love my little box and I get to see my swap blocks all the time. My remote fits perfectly in the basket and will never be lost again....maybe.
Really cute projects and a happy accident because you can have matching makes in your living room!
