I was planning to do a linen and patchwork combo for my partner, and at first, I had intended to use up some Echino scraps. I may wind up doing that ultimately. Then, after cruising my partner's favorites on Flickr for a bit, it seemed that she was more into bright, colorful patchwork, so I went that route instead.
Bright, colorful patchwork made of teeny, tiny, 1" squares, to be exact. My math on how many squares I needed actually was kind of fouled up, so the bottom of the pouch doesn't have any patchwork on it, but I figure no one will ever see the bottom of the pouch, so I'm still happy with it.
I used this same box pouch pattern last week, with super simple quilting cottons. The pattern was just as easy to follow with the linen and patchwork, and I really like how it looks with this. I might just have to make another one for me, I like it so much! Here's hoping my partner will like it just as much!
I love this, it's so pretty! Looks really gorgeous. Great job on such tiny patchwork. Now I'm totally re-thinking my pouch. I've had a bit of a creativity block on this swap.
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable! I really must try that pattern, it looks such a usable little bag.
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty, I definitely must try that tute! The little squares are so cheerful :-) And your zip looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I'm really like the linen with the patchwork look lately. Great job!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this, Elizabeth! I really want to try making that box pouch, but like so many other things, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. You have inspired me though.
