Bean Bag!

I finally finished it!  This should have been done a week ago, but I haven't been feeling the greatest - with headaches on top of everything.  I'm feeling much better today, so I finally got the zipper on this baby.
For those who are curious, this was supposed to be a wonderbag, but I realized that it was going to be much bigger than I originally thought, and that we would probably never use it.  Unfortunately, I ordered enough filling for 3 sets.  So I decided to use my scraps from the original bag, plus all that filling stuff, to make a bean bag instead!  It was hubby's idea, actually (the wonderbag looks like a funny shaped bean bag to start with).  He thought I would be able to make two - but he wanted them pretty big.  Well.  Turns out this one took all the filling we had.  But that's okay.  Now I get to make something else!
I made an inner bag, filled it with stuff, and sewed it up.  Then I used the scraps I've been piecing together to make the liner, which turned out a little bit big - better too big than too small.  Plus, it gives the bean bag plenty of room to be smooshed around.  The beads that we filled it with makes it a little stiffer than a regular bean bag, but I think it will be fun.
Here it is!

A Work in Progress

A couple of months ago I got myself into a project before learning what I was really getting into.  To make a long story short, I ended up not liking it AT ALL.  So I tore the whole thing apart and decided to use the fabric (and other supplies I had already paid for) to make something a little more useful to me.

This fabric has been cut and sewn back together so many times that it is impossible to tell what the original design was (which actually included a whole bunch of wonky four patch blocks in various sizes)!  Plus, I threw in ALL of my scraps from the previous project (plus a few more to make the fabric go a little farther).  It has been quite the process and I am going to end up with a VERY wonky and randomly pieced project!  I can't wait to show it to you when it is finished.  As you can see by the fabric choices, this project was originally intended for myself...

But for now, I thought it would be fun to share the re-pieced (and re-pieced again) panels.  Can you tell what it is going to be?  I still need to make a few more - but I actually ran out of fabric.  Oops.
