My one monthly goal for May was to look out my pieces of "Good Fortune", Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt of a few years ago. I looked them out and decided to make a bag using eight of the blocks. I wrote about that process here. Unfortunately I didn't manage to finish it in May.
Now, however, I've finished sewing it together and adding the carrying straps.
The aim was to make it large enough to carry a project and tools to a bee or workshop.
It's even big enough for a 12"x17" cutting mat:
Measurements: 18"x18"x 5"
Materials:
- left over scrap blocks
- recycled jeans
- wadding scraps
- canvas: NEW!
- thread: all new
- piecing Mettler 50 wt
- quilting Aurifil 40 wt
I'm so happy to have made something new almost completely from scraps! It's going to be useful too, once we get back to normal group activities.

Keep safe and healthy
Happy sewing
