During my spring cleaning efforts I unearthed a bin of blocks, fabric and a quilt top, all of which had been gifted to me over the years (more on this in some future posts.) It included these nine crazy patchwork blocks, which I think my mom got me at one of the quilt shows we attended together. It had to be about 20 years ago, so my memory is fuzzy. Since there were only nine I decided to make these into a bag.
After sewing two panels of four blocks together, I got out my petite very velvet threads and embroidered the center white floral patches. I also quilted the other patches with violet holographic Sulky. I used another dark green print fabric from the bin to make the handles and lining for the bag.
I've had a little needlepoint rose applique that I've been saving for years for the right project, and this bag seemed to be it.
The last block made a nice pocket for the inside of the bag. Thanks, Mom.
