As well as 3 more miniture log cabin blocks for the WIP quilt...
I could not help myself when I received the lastest copy of "Patchwork & Stitching" magazine; I had to make this little tote. Pink is not a colour I use a great deal (although I have a fair bit of pink toned fabrics). I machine applique and added tiny buttons.
And finally, I enrolled in the 2011 Rainbow Scrap Challenge to incorporate as many scraps in projects as possible. If you are interested, check out http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/ for more details.
Love the bag and blocks but especially LOVE the scrappy solid quilt. I have signed up for the 2011 Rainbow Scrap Challenge too. Lots of fun to come! Merry Christmas!

I love those little log cabin blocks. What a great idea to keep a stack of foundations to make blocks for future projects. Love your scrappy solid quilt.
ReplyDeleteHi Celia,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of blogging! I love making bags also and was pleased to see your bags. Thanks for sharing. If you like to use scraps, you might look up Bonnie Hunt. She uses a technique called leaders and enders where you make 4 patches and other small blocks at the beginning and end of your piecing. I do this with a variety of shapes and am amazed at how much more I get done. She was interviewed on Pat Sloan's podcast towards the beginning of Pat's podcast.
Best wishes,
Jaye
