It must be a New Year as Season 14 of Project Quilting has started. The first one is indeed the 'First One'. All that's been going through my mind since I first read the challenge has been 'One singular sensation' from 'One' by Marvin Hamlisch. The lyrics praise a singular star, oh I can work with that. Stars are one of my favourite blocks.
quilted and ready to put together |
Now what to make with a single star. I pulled some scraps and made a 3'' finished star. Okay, that was easy, but what to do with it. Why not make something useful, I've been thinking of making a rotary cutter cover, to put my rotary cutter in when taking it to guild. Time for some more scraps. I used a scrap piece of Thermore batting and a scrap fabric for my quilt sandwich. I did a crosshatch for the back of the rotary cover and some stitch in the ditch for the star. Sew the front to the back, add a single fold binding, and one singular rotary cover is done.

I don't know if it's a singular sensation, but I think it turned out okay. Plus a few bits of scraps are put to good use.
Lovely, and a great idea. I love star blocks too.
ReplyDeleteI like how the star matches your rotary cutter. Having a safe way to transport it to your guild is smart. Looks great to me!
ReplyDeleteThis is Perfect!
