Lately I've been thinking about making the Amy Butler Weekender Bag. I know I'm late to the party, but I really like my Tula Birds and Bees so much that I want it on my couch and I want to wear it around town! I've decided to make mine patchwork style like Elizabeth Hartman's tutorial here.
So far I've cut out most of the pieces and made a million yards of piping using Steam A Seam a la Noodlehead. I'm using a purple-winey colored linen blend for the piping. Here's the front large pocket! I love those squirrels - squeekity squeek squeeken :) More on this later after more progress.
I finally cut into my Flea Market Fancy and favorite DS Quilts prints awhile back when I found the perfect pattern. This is called Perfect Points Sampler from Connecting Thread's website and can be found here. I had a lot of fun making each of the different blocks, particularly my favorite Bear's Paw. The quilt turned out quite green and orange - not exactly how I pictured it but that's what happens when I pick the fabric instead of letting Moda do it for me!
