I met a grandmother on a shuttle bus a year ago and she was describing a "Fast and Easy" baby quilt she was making her grandchild. It was cut into squares, each about an inch different in size. For example, the back piece was 7" square, the top was a 6" square and the stuffing was a 5" square. Somehow they were sewn in a strip and then the strips were sewn together. When all the strips were sewn together the quilt was done. She then machine sewed an "X" from corner to corner on each square to finish it off. I am giving measurements "as I remember them". They may not be accurate. But, does anyone know about this quilt and can give me the correct measurements and directions. I have tried Googling it to no success. S. Eley

Hi Pokey, I want to thank you for all the EBooks and free sewing ideas you give us all.

I am going to take advantage of the wonderful reversible wine bottle bag. Some of my Bunko girlfriends like their wine on occassion! Great for Christmas Happies. Believe it on not I have the same outter fabric that is showing on your display. I will reverse with some fabric they can use all year.

Thank you so much for all you do

Pokey, I just moved from Houston to NH in early November, so I know what you mean. My easy go to project for this year's gifts will be zippered pouches. They are quick, easy and fun to personalize !
