Scrappy QAYG

When I saw Svetlana/sotakhandmade post her quilt-as-you-go tutorial last week, I was reminded how fun qayg can be. But when I saw her qayg pouch tutorial (with metal zippers!) the next day, I knew I had to give it a go. And with the need for a couple of handmade gifts, it was perfect timing.



My pouches are both about 8 1/2" tall X 10" wide, so they are generously sized. Plus what a terrific use of my scraps and a fun diversion from those bigger projects waiting patiently on the sidelines.

Linking up with Scraptastic Tuesday and Fabric Tuesday.

    Love both the blue and green one! The yellow zip is a great feature on the blue one too!I l have been going through my scraps this week too! It's fun finding little bits that have long been forgotten!

    Love those pouches with their metal zips - must give that tute a go! Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday. Hmmm wonder if I could cut up one of hubby's old suits for a manly pouch with metal zip - would he notice?

    Just the thing I need to get me motivated to spend time putting my sewing room together enough to sew something. These are adorable! Love your colors.

    Beautiful colour combinations and these make great gifts apart from using up scraps.

    I like the angles you used in the piecing, they give a lot of interest. I agree, it's a fun way of whittling the scrap pile!
