One UFO got rid of!!

I have had this Jane Sassaman workshop piece hanging around for ages. (I did a workshop with her in 2012, at the Ballarat Fibre Forum.)
Here it is before being quilted - at the end of the workshop but before having time to work on it some more.
I did bring it home and work on it some more, till it was quilted but not bound.

One day I noticed that it is much the same size as my small tapestry loom. Hmm. I wondered, can I make a carry bag for the loom?

I decided that I really need to be DOING something. So I got out this UFO and decided to at least put some binding on.
Then I realised that that will not be good for a bag making exercise. I just made another little quilt the same size - not that well quilted, just threw some scrap fabrics together to use them up.  Then I bound that too.


Now the two pieces have been sewn together and a handle has been put on. It fits my small loom beautifully. I will be able to sling it over my shoulder and carry it to my group meetings with ease.
As there are quite a few faults in it, the quilt police probably wouldn't like it but who cares??

Now I won't be juggling all those hanging bobbins, moving the warps and generally having trouble with getting it from the car to the guild rooms. Hooray.
