Yesterday
Alamosa Quilter posted about the Triple Zip Along that
A Quilter’s Table is hosting. I’ve wanted to make this bag as I need to stretch my skills in that “zipper” area. Today while shopping with some friends, I picked out the fabrics. I like them; however one of my friends didn’t like the stripes. I figure I’m not that great at doing things with zippers, so I wasn’t going to spend any more time trying to find the perfect fabric. We’d already been shopping for over an hour. Like I said, I like these fabrics and the contrasting zippers.
This is another look at the fabrics, without the zippers. I’m trying to decide if I want to feature the bottom fabric as I have done here or the red in the first picture. You’ll see what I mean when you see the bag at
A Quilter’s Table blog. What do you think?
Look what I did this afternoon! I made that Sampler block that I put off making yesterday. Lynn was a big help in making those half square triangles. You can see what I mean by going to the Tips section on her blog
here. My block is not perfect, but I think all this practice is helping.
On Another Note: Since we’re talking about bags today, I thought you might like to see the cute little ruffle coin purse tutorial that
Clover and Violet has.
Until next time,

Ooh...I want to! Must...find...time! I like the multi print as the bottom color, just as you have it in the photo.
ReplyDeleteI like the multi-colored print as the bottom fabric too. Your fabrics are great! You do a great job on your sampler block! When I learned the trick of making HST larger and cutting them down to the correct size it made a huge difference in my piecing accuracy. It takes more time, but I don't really mind when I get such goo results.
ReplyDeleteLove the triple zip pouch! Love your color choices as well! Thank you for sharing and for the links! They are great!
ReplyDeleteHave a super great sewing and stitching day!
Excited that you are joining in! I like the flower fabric on the bottom. How about putting the red between the flower and stripe? I love the stripe! Can never go wrong with a good stripe!
