This has kept me busy for the last few days! I made 13 of the individual blocks as if they were intended to be pincushions. They are hand stitched together (mattress stitch.) Of course there had to be a purse to match.
I have included a picture of the main fabric I started with and one of the inside of the bag.
The handles were a belt which came with a pair of jeans which I have save for ages!

Very pretty ensemble. Really great use of the fabric and fussy cutting for the most impact. Great work.

Great idea using the belt. I have a whole new stash of handles! The quilt blocks are great as is the bag and purse. Excellent work.

Prequilted unstuffed pincushions, recycled belt and a lot of handsewing - splendid outcome! Lovely matching purse and clever fussy cutting.
