Another crazy patchwork bag.

16/7/2013

It seems that every summer crazy colorful patchwork bags are full on. As I have mentioned on a previous blog this seems to be the most popular item that I make- especially in the summer for the beach.

One side of the bag.

The other side of the bag.

I love making these since it's a great chance for me to use some previously made left over blocks that are lying around waiting to be acknowledged! - (If you do patchwork and quilting I am sure that you know what I mean.)

The X - quilt.

This quilt with X's also known as 'intersection 'is simple and effective. These skinny pinwheels were so easy and quick to make that the quilt top was done in one day (a very very full day of sewing mind you !!). I used the strips that I trimmed off the blocks in the back of the quilt. This gave the back some interest making this a double sided quilt . I think that I like the back of the quilt as much (if not more) than the front. - Nonie
