The Okinawa International Patchwork Guild met the first Saturday in November for our monthly workshop. This month’s project was taught by Yuriko. When Yuriko originally made this pattern, she did all of the work by hand, but many of us in the guild are too addicted to instant gratification to even consider hand-piecing and quilting!
We started with three coordinating fabrics and strip-pieced them into a rail fence quilt tops for the body of the bag, the handle, and the bottom. Then we layered the quilt tops, batting, and backing fabric and quilted each piece. Yuriko provided patterns for the pieces of the bag.
The most difficult part of this project for me was sewing on the bottom of the bag!
