I've started another Treasure Keeper. I'm calling this one Hidden Nine Patch.
After a quick bath and dry, the first thing I do is cut the seams on the little vintage bags here.
I find it interesting that all these bags have two seams--they are made on the fold. They are also have uneven and odd sides, so I square up each bag. Now the fun starts. With my box of bits and pieces I create a little quilt to place on the bag.
For this one I stitched together a nine-patch and then appliqued it and part of a second nine-patch together in hopes of giving it a look of a little stack. I will add quilting stitches---even some embroidery stitches, to complete the nine-patch look.
The back needs a patch too!! A little buzzing bee will add interest. After a short vacation to a sunshine state--there may be a complete bag to show. Projects are going with me. Check out Off the Wall for some wonderful quilts. Stay cozy and Happy Quilting!
I love your treasure bags! They are all so unique
