Cars Quilt Crashed- Repairs Complete

Here is the quilt top staged up. I wanted to get the wheels more even and should have just left it alone. Too Late now, damage is done :( ....So Just put em in the shop and fix em up. :)



Flat Tires - BEFORE



AFTER!
I am soooo glad I decided to repair the wheels im 100% happier with the outcome. I trimmed down the edge of original wheels and cut the back off then turned it and sewed to the back. Then i added steam a seam to get it back onto the black wheel. They now have a more dimensional look than before.
.


Oh and my newly found secret to cutting a perfect 12" circle. I had struggled with just a cut template because my rotary blade would cut into the template soooo, while in the cake isle at Joanns it hit me.

Turn this upside down and it works like a charm, the ridges help keep it steady
& it was less than $5

2 Hour Tulip Purse




I don't like the light green for my purse but I think it will go with my fairy quilt below.
Only problem now is finding more than a 5" sqaure of that other fabric....LOL
Not sure if it shows up but the 5" square is more teal and the large light fabric
is more minty green.

Market Bag, Its Reversible!!




This is the first of 3, I changed the bottom so it was more squared out. I am going to cover some template plastic in fabric to use as a more secure bottom in the bag. I also need to decide on how to finish out the handles. But other than that Its done & REVERSIBLE!!
