Mini Quilt pouch

Hi Y'all! Fell off the blogoshere for awhile but lots has happened! Had another baby, entered the wonderful world of Bernina ownership and lots of sewing!

I am motivated today to say hello to join the Mini Quilt Show n' Tell over at amylouwho's blog.

This is a cute lil pouch I made using very small patchwork pieces.

It was challenging to get all the the points to line up and realized that I *needed* a straight stitch plate for my new machine...        {here she is...}

Anyways back to my mini quilt; I learned a few things about working small like this. 

Cut pieces bigger then trim down! This is much easier than getting frustrated when tiny triangle points get eaten into the machine and/ or shift when finishing the seam. My points lined up way better with this method (not perfect, better ;). 

So its a pouch. Like I said I just had a baby so I needed something quicker than a quilt to satisfy my sewing needs.

Thanks for stoppin by and I promise i'm gonna blog more! In fact I have been makin lots of cool things lately...here is a sneak peek....
