Hi there all! This bag has been on my to do list since a long time....finally its done!
I used a smaller size (3 inch squares embroidered) but followed the 22 square pattern as I didnt want the shape of the bag to change!
I used burgundy...royal blue and a light grey shade to embroider on black fabric but in the pics its looking like the patriotic theme (red, blue and white)...haha! :)
Well I like the shape of the finished bag....just the opening is a little small....maybe coz my bag is small!
I have put a small pocket inside closing it with a piece of velcro and the main section opening has a button and a loop! Used decorative stitches on the belts :)
Thanks for looking!

Wowzer! This is awesome. I imagine you had to float to do the squares and match up the corners some how? I thought it was pieced from afar. This is quite impressive.

Thank you so much :)
No I didnt float.....I used 1 large piece of fabric n kept rehooping it to embroider 2 squares at a time in my 5×7 hoop!

Dear Fatima, now that is what I call thinking outside the square!!! I've got these designs and the way you've put it together makes it really come alive. Love the colours they really pop! Well done, you'll be the envy of all your friends. Love Chri

Thank you so much Chris :)
I was planning for something simple...I mean lighter designs which would stitch up quickly but ended up with this!
In the beginning I wasnt even sure of the colour theme but then just went ahead :)

It did take some time to get the pieces done....lots of colour changes too although I did 2 squares at a time! But all is well that ends well :)

O My Goodness - you did this on a solid piece of fabric? WOW! I thought it was impressive before but now I am gobsmacked. Still going thru pages and pages of projects on site - did I miss where you got the pattern? I did see the one you made with 4 inch squares - also impressive - extremely impressive! Gorgeous work - thanks for sharing it.

Thank you so much and I am very happy you liked it! :)
It was the same plain black cotton which I have used for the lining! The designs are free to download at sewforum....I was trying to add a direct link but it isnt working!
Just google search sewforum purple blocks and hopefully you will get there easily! :)

WOW! What an amazing accomplishment! One piece of fabric! Wow.
Is there somewhere that shows the layout and construction of this bag? Or was it something you devised?
