I finished all the blocks for the blue strip twist quilt Friday night and yesterday I got the two borders, backing and binding all cut out and bagged and ready to take to the CQU quilt retreat next weekend. I had some cute scraps leftover from cutting those strips so, I pieced them all together, quilted it, and along with a cute pair of navy handles and a big vintage navy button I had in my stash, I made myself a new purse!!
I HEART these fabrics!! But for some
weird reason the colors just don't
photograph true to life! ACK!!
I had 2 strip twist blocks extra, so I
used one for a pocket on the back.
And I used the other one for a pocket
on the inside along with some other
scraps for a smaller cell phone pocket.
So, I'm off to bind my Caliente Poppies quilt!
I'll post about it soon! :-)
Did you have a creative weekend?

I love how you just whip up a new purse from your leftovers...and it looks fab. I think you were a purse designer in a former life...or your next...chez kool!
ReplyDeleteI love these fabrics too, yum yum yum! Your bag is way too cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours of your gorgeous new bag.
ReplyDeleteI spent a lovely time in Perth with my DD2 and GC. We went to "Cats". Spent time playing games and sewing too.
On my return home I received your pattern for the "Tuffets". Thank you so much, Polly.
Now I am jealous! I need to get sewing on a new bag. I worked on a scruffily quilt, but have not posted it yet.
