My friend Jess (and her friend Jess) organised a QAL called "How far will you go?". The idea was that one didn't have to go the whole way but it was up to us to decide "how far we wanted to go" (hence the name).
I didn't get terrible far, I'm afraid! I only managed to make four out of the eighteen blocks on offer (or four and a half, to be precise)
You are now probably wondering what on earth it is supposed to be!
It's a cover for my Bernina 820. I've been planning to make one since I got it nearly three years ago, but I just never got around to it. This machine is quite a bit bigger than my other machines, so the cover I made before didn't fit. Now I just have to remember to cover my machine when I'm not using it so it won't get so dusty anymore.
There are even prizes up for grabs, sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop.
As today is the dead line to enter and to have a chance to win one of those gift certificates, I have linked up here!
Happy Weekend everyone!

Looks great but I was distracted by those beautiful Asian inspired wall hangings in the background. They are exquisite!
What a clever idea, Vreni! The sewing machine cover looks fabulous - love your fabric choices too! All the best!
Beautiful peeks of your wall hangings, by the way! =)
What a great use for the blocks. Really love the fabrics. I usually just throw something over my machine to keep the dust off. This is so much lovelier!
Wonderful use for those pretty blocks. Love the fabrics!
Hi Vreni,
A great way to use your blocks! Maybe you will think of me each time you sew now LOL
I love your cover Vreni, what a great idea for your beautiful blocks! xo
Super Idee und so hast du nun eine tolle Naehmaschinenkleidung. Gefaellt mir sehr. Ich finds immer schoen, wenn auch die kleinen Waisenbloecke irgendwie zu was schoenen gebraucht werden koennen. Das hast du toll gemacht!
those colors are gorgeous , would be nice to make a whole quilt with those fabrics.... But this is a great solution to make a project half done into a finished project!! well done.

Clever girl! What a lovely colour combination, hmmm, a matching quilt will looks nice.... ;-)
Great cover for your sewing machine, well done!
I only made 4 blocks, too. I just got a machine cover in our guilds Christmas exchange. Still trying to figure out what to do with those blocks.
Wow, this looks great.
Liebe Grüße Grit
Hallo Vreni,

What a great use for your blocks! I have a machien cover, but I always forget to use it -- bad quilter!
Hallo Vreni,
die Nähmaschinenhaube ist mit den Blöckchen super geworden. Das ist eine gute Idee, Restblöcke zu verarbeiten.
Viele Grüße

sehr schönes Cover, ich mag deine Stoffwahl sehr.
