My Latest Obsession

 My latest obsession is making these cute quilted bags!  I bought the pattern from Plains and Prairie. She has a video that shows you how to make these bags, step by step.  I've made these two, but as you can see in the pictures below.  I have plans to make at least three more. I used a throw size quilt I made just a few years ago.  We have so many small quilts I decided I would repurpose it for the bible bags. They were originally designed to hold your bible and church booklets, but I'm using mine as a purse.

                                        I even made some inside pockets on the second bag.

I won't say they are easy to make, definitely a challenge, but something that can be made in a day.  I've had fun and hope to make a few more for some gifts/church auction donation.

That quilt with it's small (1") squares was a perfect one to make bags out of.

I really like this quilt pattern, I might just make this one again. I still have a ton of scraps to use in it.
