I've been wanting to make a zipper bag for quite some time but was a little leary because I really don't like to sew in zippers. But I was really surprised how easy it was. Much easier than putting one in the back of a dress. The patten for this was off the internet and it wasn't lined, just used iron on interfacing. Next time I'll line it for sure since I now know how easy it is now.
I call this a "free" quilt since everything I used was in my small stash. Several months ago I cut strips from fabrics and started trying to use them in baby quilts. This one is just 8 inch squares with a tiny white sashing. The pink polka dot flannel for the back was even left over from a larger quilt. Would you believe I even machine quilted it myself AND sewed the binding by machine too. Now it's ready for the next little baby girl born in our neighborhood.Happy Quilting! Lynda

What a sweet little quilt! All the fabrics go together so prettily!
That quilt is adorable, congrats on making it from the stash. That always feels good! Very sweet.
I Love it! I might steal your idea for my next Blanket of Love if you don't mind! It's just so pretty! :)
Well done with the sipper bag! I'm sure that's not the last one you've made ;). And the "free" quilt is lovely too. Good idea to get rid of those pieces of fabric, lying around taking up space!!!
What a wonderful stashbuster, it sure will make the next little girl happy!
I'm like you, I'm scared of zips. I keep telling myself I must have a go, but then I keep finding other things to do!
Your "free" quilt is so pretty.
So cute! Your little granddaughter is just adorable! (And so is your boss- hahaha)
