This morning I sewed the binding onto my birches piece. Once I've finished hand sewing it down I'll post a final picture.
While cleaning I came across this unfinished piece and pondered what I could do with it.
After searching a bit on line, I found a tutorial for a zippered bag and got inspired.

After adding fabric for the back, I sandwiched it, lined it and free motion quilted it with black thread. Many times I've salvaged what I thought was a sort of blah piece by adding some lose free motion outlining in black.
Here is the inside with the zipper sewn in and ready for the side seams.

I love it!
Very nice zippered pouch. Looking forward to seeing the finished birch project too.
Luv it!!!!
That's going to be cool!
Yes, I do like that black outlining. Great!
I really like that daisy/cornflower piece! The zipper bag looks like it will be interesting, tho the photo does not show the stitching very well, but that could be early morning eyes and an unfinished cup of coffee not focusing well! --- I looked again! Gee now I get it! the checkerboard is the inside of the daisy/cornflower piece! hahahaha I think I should go finish my coffee and maybe go back to bed for another hour or two. Too Funny!
Inspiration....wonderful idea:)
