WIP Wednesday- Charm Packs in action

I've just remembered that I've not shown you one of my WIPs started a little while ago. I started it as a distraction project (and have already named it "Hello Chevron") and it will use 3 charm packs in it's construction. I'm not letting myself pick it back up again yet though as I need to get thinking "curtains" and stop procrastinating.I drew up this plan in EQ7- the pink bits are patterned pieces from the Hello Luscious charm packs, the rest are solids cut from yardage...As you can see I've done the top row already. As my room is a mess because the other side of the garage is being painted and what-not, I could only really trap it in the door to photograph early this morning, but I think you get the idea!My next project has been puct back over and over again so I am going to allow myself to finish this one before next wednesday with any luck. Also from a charm pack, this time Tend the Earth by Deb Strain. I was originally going to make a kaleidoscope quilt with this charm pack and it didn't really work out and I ended up with a few wasted charm squares and the whole thing got bundled away for a while. After I found THIS PATTERN in Modern Quilting magazine I knew I had to make it, I bought handles for it ages ago and then last week I discovered my slightly abused charm pack would be perfect for this as it says it needs only 33 charm squares (though I counted and it's actually 34)!Sorry for the slightly blurry pic, as I say, it was early! These are my two front panels, I'm just finishing the sides, bottom and flap pieces then I have to do the bit I hate- cut out ALL the interfacing and lining pieces. This is why I don't normally make bags- too much pattern cutting! Just need to buy some more fusible fleece, mega strong interfacing and a big zip! WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced
