What do you do when you realise your friend is hosting TGIFF this week and you have no finishes?? Grab some scraps and use your new giant package of insulated batting to make a trial potholder (seriously, I do not know how they can fit so much batting into one little plastic bag… This will last me a life time!), making it up as you go along, then take some dodgy night time photos that may or may not even be in focus because it is past midnight and now officially Saturday and your eyes are dying to go to bed…
Good Fortune in a Bento Box pattern, then bordered and binded… Geddit?? We live in Japan, it’s for the kitchen where you make food, like bento (lunchbox meal)… Ok, let’s all groan together and then check out the back and groan again at the waaaaay too wide binding…
Is that blurry or is it just my eyes?! And it is actually quite square, it’s just a bit floppy and the middle is poking out. I also have the lyrics: “I like big binding and I cannot lie, you other quilters can’t deny…”
Ok, seriously, time for bed.
Linking up with Jane at Where Jane Creates for TGIFF!

That song will so be stuck in my head! Embarassingly I know all the words…
That pattern looks great in good fortune.

LOL – now you’ve got me singing that song! A very well done in-a-hurry project, Alyce! Love that colour palette!
Gina says
I am laughing so hard….you are so funny; I think staying up past bedtime will do that to a person. Way to start and finish all in the same session; you are a good friend!
