I found my camera and am going to post pictures of the 2 things I finished on Saturday!
(The quilt is for me, I realize the fabric choices aren't for everybody, but I love it.)

Mini Cooper Bag - Mom's birthday/Mother's Day present. She has a bright yellow Mini, hence the yellow bottom.

Inside of bag, I decided to keep the 'car' theme going.

I agree alot of ppl dont like the darks, but I tend towards them myself,
I think it is beautiful!
and the mini bag . . . super creative and personal, she will love it I'm sure. :D

great job on both

Thanks!
(And that was me wrapped in the quilt originally. I uploaded the wrong picture at first so had to change it.)

I like your quilt! For some reason, my color choices work better on a dark(ish) quilt then on the light ones, therefore I do alot of dark.

This is a beautiful quilt and the bag is awesome. What a great job. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks everybody!
I'm really excited to give my mom the bag but I don't know when I will see her because of finals and all that fun stuff.

Oh do I like that black and white check in the inside of the bow tuck.

That is actually the 'wrong' side of the fabric! I liked the grey better than the solid black and white check.
And it isn't a bow tuck. I used this pattern and added the straps in the middle to 'close' it.

Thanks everybody! I think this is my 10th quilt, but I'm still very much a beginner. I made my first quilt in 8th grade and I am now a Junior in college. Always learning!

Your quilt is just wonderful! Sure your mom will love her Mini Cooper bag too. Smart idea to make the bottom yellow.

i think it's an awesome quilt-and i'd love to make a bag-maybe some day

Barbm 05-02-2011 05:59 AM

awesome bag! I didn't know they made mini cooper fabric. Must find some....

(my grandson calls ours the mini "pooper")

Wow, you were busy! All I did was read a book.
I would love to know where to find the Mini Cooper fabric. Who makes it?

Maia B 05-02-2011 06:32 AM

Very productive indeed! What a thoughtful gift for your mom. I love mini coopers, especially the longer ones :) Don't apologize for your color preferences, your quilt is great!

I found it on ebay, no idea who makes it.
It's thicker than normal quilting fabric.

Both are gorgeous! KUDOS :thumbup:
