I had tried piecing it together several times, but stitching a straight line at exactly 1\/4&#8243; is not my forte. My last attempt, though, used a sewing machine foot that has a guide for a seam allowance of exactly 1\/4&#8243;. WooHoo! I was able to get the little blocks pieced together. I want to get some of the rainbow spider web fabric to make a Halloween skirt next year too.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m almost finished with the bag &#8212; just need to stitch the letters. I didn&#8217;t quite follow the instructions. Or maybe I just didn&#8217;t understand the instructions. It seemed to me like the exterior and the fusible fleece were quilted, but the bag interior was not. I sandwiched all three layers and did my quilting. I also used my serger to make the side seams. That seemed like a more durable solution.<\/p>\n<p>Front (oops, I still need to remove the chalk lines I used to quilt the bottom portion!)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lisa.rushworth.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235405.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-521 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/lisa.rushworth.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235405-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"img_20160930_235405\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235405-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235405-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235405-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235405.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And back:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lisa.rushworth.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235412.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-522 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/lisa.rushworth.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235412-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"img_20160930_235412\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235412-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235412-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235412-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rushworth.us\/lisa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160930_235412.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early this year, I purchased a kit to make a Halloween tote bag for Anya.
