A Finished Quilted Bag for Knitting Projects

 

I just finished sewing this quilted bag for knitting projects.

 I was inspired by Mieko, 

using her assembly method, 

but changing the blocks and the size of the bag. 

I also lengthened the shoulder strap to fit me better as I’m tall. 

I love Mieko’s videos on YouTube-

she has a very peaceful and relaxed sewing/quilting style. 

I cut 32 squares that were 4” x 4” 

out of leftover batting

 (I knew that bag of batting scraps would come in handy one day!)

 I then sewed strips from my scrap bins, 

choosing grey, white and red this time around.

I sewed 32 of these,

 arranged them in a pleasing way 

and then sewed them together in four rows of four blocks.

I had some leftover blocks from another project 

that I turned into interior pockets for the bag.

I loved how this miniature mariner’s compass block turned out.

I now have a lovely bag to hold one of my knitting WIP. 😊

Happy sewing,

Judy
