Hi!
Finally I get to show you what I made for the Make it Right challenge! (update:this challenge has passed June 2013)
When I got the fabric, I just know that I don’t want to make it into a quilt. I just want to think a bit out of the box. Indeed I did – and when I want to submit it, I was thinking “hm… which category should it be in? Quilt? Apparel or Home Deco?” Finally I submit it into Home Deco.

I would really appreciate it if you could take a bit of time to like and repin on pinterest!
Click HERE to pinterest pin and click repin or like, because that is the vote they count for the challenge.
Anyway, I made this because the car seat is dull and of course I need to sew something to cheer it up!
And just because I made the backing as nice, I made it reversible too! The improved piecing is the back. Even the back pocket panel can be reversible!

You can refer to this post for the type of material and threads I used for this project.
Here are more photos: I quilt as happily as I can be. With very little planning really. I was just having fun most of the time! Glad it made it to the end!

All quilting was done on my . Bunnings (hardware store here in Australia) Glove works as good as machinger’s glove and cost only 1/3 of machinger! And the colour is blue!
The ruler story : I do not change foot while quilting this despite of many straight lines,  because I can’t be that patience! LOL.. I find this Fine LIne Quilter’s Ruler helpful to use on domestic machine, but sometimes foot can jump over it too! talk about dangerous (imagine the needle snapping on it)..you can find the ruler HERE > if you are interested.
Update: I love the ruler now that I can use it with my non-hopping foot!
