Finished:
Okay, I finished my Vera bag two weeks ago, but it missed out on WIP Wednesday, so I'm posting it here. Still in love.
Ongoing projects:
Central Park Quilts
The boy version is quilted, and the binding needs some attention. Girl version is ready to be basted. I'll be wrapping these up soon.
Kaleidoscope quilt-along
I'm caught up on this project. Now I'm considering a change of plans. I had intended to make the throw size, but I had no real purpose for it (not that that sort of thing usually matters to me...). I'm in need of two baby girl gifts, so now I'm thinking I'll make a few extra blocks and make two baby quilts. I have to admit--these blocks gave me a bit of trouble. They're on the puffy side, and I didn't have much luck getting my points to be pointy. I'm hoping a little quilting magic will hide some of these flaws!
Tree quilts
I'm making good progress on these. More soon.
Completed tops awaiting quilting:

That bag is awesome!!! :)
And so are the quilts! I love the idea of the baby quilts for kaleidoscope! It'll be great!
I adore your bag! So cute, and such a great size!! And I love the idea of turning your Kaleidoscope into two baby quilts, that's a great idea!
Love your bag! Really nice! And you kaleidoscoope is lookin' good. I think we're all hoping some quilting will help those puffy centers..argh.
LOVE your yellow bag! Your kaleidoscope is looking great, I haven't started mine, but I've seen quite a few people who say it's puffy too, so I don't think you're the only one.
Your kaleidoscope is so bright and cheerful! Any baby would love it, puffy blocks and all. :)
Love the kaleidoscope quilt. I am copying you. I ordered some of the yellow fabric to make a bag and it arrived yesterday. Now I have to decide on a pattern.
I love your Vera Bag- is it bad I perused Etsy for a good hour trying to find a similar one for myself? Maybe I will try to make one myself because I am obsessed with that bag!
I'm right there with you on the puffy points. I strategically laid my blocks on my bed to help hide them because I thought I was the only one... definitely some directed quilting to help correct it! But if it makes you feel better, I didn't notice anything until you said something!
I need to make that bag. :) Fun Kaleidoscope, and I'm excited to see your finished Central Park quilts! :)
Cute bag! And your kaleidoscope is coming along quite nicely!
I love your bag! Definitely need to make one, too!
I hear that there is advice in the flickr group about the lumpy/puffy centers of the kaleidoscope blocks - I'm off to go check it out - and I'll keep you posted about how the rest of mine turn out! :-)
Nice progress! I love love your bag, and I think your QAL blocks are awesome!!
I love, love, love your Vera bag! So cool. I think it is a great idea to split the Kaleidoscope into two baby quilts...such a nice gift. My centers were puffy too, so I used the advice from one of the Flickr posts to fix the problem and it helped A LOT! Or since the quilt will possibly be for two girls you could make flower yo-yo centers or something like that incorporated into the quilting!
Seriously. I must have that bag. What is that fabric?? I know I saw this bag (or a similar one) on somebody else's blog? Now I really want to make it too! Can we be bag triplets?
Your kaleidoscope blocks look great. I haven't started putting mine together yet, but I'm a little scared. Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )
Your purse is so cute!! Love the pattern and the color. So impressed!
