September's UFO List

Despite the fact that I'm 

in full swing of being a nanny Nana

I've made some progress on

my 17 UFO's in 2017.

Any forward progress is 

a reason to celebrate.

A couple of weekends ago

 there was challenge

to "sew a jelly roll".

To be honest, I don't buy 

many precuts,

but looking over my UFO list 

 I remembered I had 

"make a Mondo Bag"

I knew it was a sign.

Time to work on this.

I combined a well cured

Fig Tree jelly roll and a 

very mature pattern and 

started sewing.

A long time ago I have made lots of the 

Quilt Smart Smart Bags.

All this bag takes is 

two fat quarters,

one for the bag and one for the lining.
And, of course,
the Quilt Smart fusible
preprinted interfacing.

Making a Mondo Bag

was just as easy.
The fusible interfacing has
all the necessary lines printed on it,
where to cut and where to sew
and what direction to press.

Using a jelly roll is a quick

way to get a variety of  2.5" squares.

Cut, fuse, sew.
Nothing could be easier.

 

 Here are the squares fused to
the interfacing.

If you're careful, you're

 able to get enough squares for two Mondo Bags

out of one jelly roll.

One bag for you and one for a friend.

Once you've bought the pattern,
you can buy the interfacing panels separately
and make as many as you want.

Over the years

I've had bag envy with many

of my quilting friends and their Mondo Bags.

The size and shape is perfect

for carrying beautiful quilts 

for show and tell to your local guild meeting.

Well, mine was finally done

and became my show and tell

for September.

Look.

Another project off the list.

There are several projects

that are getting close to being done.

It's going to be a sprint

to the finish.

I've appreciated Meredithe's

fun UFO's list and accountability.

I have actually stayed pretty focused!

Until Next Time-
