OMG for May is finished

The OMG for May is to make 2 baby quilts for the Hands2Help project and I'm very happy to say that I'm done with them.  Here are the pictures.

 

 
 

I had a little problem with the dark red/blue fabric.  Even though I washed them with color catchers, the colors ran and stained the white noodles with red.  I was worried and took a break to think how I would solve the problem.  Two days later, I came up with an idea; I misted the area with water and used Q-tips dipped in diluted bleach+water to clean it up.  Then I rewashed them and the red is gone from the white noodles!  Phew... 

The design is based on the pattern called 'Noodles' from Leanne Parsons at DevotedQuilter.com, (non affiliate link).  I think they came out really cute.


I also finished a purse for the Sewpowerful.org which is a global movement to keep girls in school all month and equip African women with good paying jobs.


 


The purse is really fun to make.  I think I'll  make a few more for them.

 

 Thanks for stopping by and have a great sewing week!

  2. Both Baby quilts are lovely, and I'm happy that the stain will not remain. Pretty little pouches too, and for a great cause.
    Thank you for sharing, and linking up ;)

  3. Dye migration is always a concern. I have read several remedies on line. Luckily have never had to try one. I love that block. Simple but with a "twist".. Too cute!
