hst zippered pouch
 

My first go at half-square triangles!

I used this tutorial for a majority of the squares: http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...s-t141047.html

Some of the squares I improvised, using a triangle of paper as a guide for some ghetto paper piecing. Everything I trimmed down to about 2", but I wasn't super fastidious so that probably explains some of my mismatched points, hah.

I'll confess, I love greys and different shades/patterns of it. It's a good thing there aren't any fabric stores near me, I think I could easily start a stash of font prints, it's just that right bit of black/white/grey. Also love purples and orange. I don't know what a lot of these fabrics are, other than some kona cottons and random prints that caught my eye at Joanns. The vinyl I bought ages ago for use in my costume shop as dragon horns and claws.

Tragically, I had the iron too warm and melted a tiny strip of the vinyl when doing the final press. : (
Oh well, it's homey and handmade, goes with the hst points that don't quite match up.

Thanks for looking!

nice job and thanks for including the directions

Some great designs.

Great, thank you!!!!

Great post with pics! I like the mix of fabrics and textures.

I can't tell you how much I LOVE these!!! Too cute! :thumbup:

Looks great and so useful. Great job.

Thanks everyone! I sent this off to my mum, hoping she dusts off her sewing machine and gets to quilting along with me! :)
