I am going to be working on these the next couple of weeks. I am making them for an event I am attending. I have no idea how many I will end up making, but I got a good start on them this weekend. Here is the pouch I am making.
I needed a place to put the layered units - lining, batting, outside fabric - so I set the folding table back up.
I needed batting, so I went thru almost all my batting scraps and ended up with a nice pile of pieces. Geeze, I had a lot of scraps!
Next was quilting the units. I didn't take the time to see how long it took me to quilt the fabric for one pouch. I will have to do that.
I would quilt a few pieces, then change up jobs and cut them.
I now have a nice stack of 15 pouches ready for zippers and finishing.
I would rotate jobs - quilting, cutting, and making units - which helped keep me focused. After quilting fabric for the 15 pouches, which was almost 26 square feet, I was too tired to quilt anymore. I then switched to just cutting fabric and making the units. I went thru most of my novelty fabrics to try and find some fun fabric for pouches rather than just prints. I figure I used around 23 yards of fabric and of course I have a new pile of scraps. Here are the 45 units I have waiting for me to quilt them.
I have fabric for 9 more pouches that I need to cut batting for.
I don't know how many hours I put in on this project on Friday and Saturday, but I did spend 11 hours in the studio on Sunday working on these. I want to get a few more layered up before I put in my zipper order. Saturday morning, I woke up to this. It was mostly gone by noon.
