Sew Powerful Purses #131-132 (2024)

Some more Happy Scrappy Flappy purses for Sew Powerful Purse Project.

I even did a decorative stitch on the webbing strap for a bit of bling.

I am not sure if this fabric looks African or Asian? I can see a bit of both in the design and colors used in this print. Either way I think it is a pretty print. I have had it for years and glad to finally be using this fabric for something useful.

Crazy pieced flap.

I think I have used up all of most of the donation plaid fabrics I got a couple years ago. The fabric is sturdy, but most of the plaid colors were brown, blacks, and greens. Need to use bright colors from now on as the girls love bright colors, but so do I!!!😉

Green Scrappy String Quilt

This was another quilt I recently finished from making quilt blocks long ago that I had put away. I just needed to make a few more blocks and then put it together. I used polar fleece on the back and I sewed a green cotton binding on the quilt. I was thinking of adding an appliqué on this quilt, but when auditioning the appliqué that I had ready, it just looked too busy on this quilt, so decided no appliqué. This quilt measures 41" wide x 42" high. It's a nice size lap quilt for a child.

The blocks are each 8" finished squares.

This is the green Polar Fleece I used for the backing. It is very soft and cuddly. Simple serpentine stitching for the quilting.

I love making string quilts! It uses up fabric scraps and it's fun to make. Various ways to set the strings to give it a different look. These blocks are square, but if you saw my last 2 string quilts that I posted recently (the turquoise with appliqué bear and the gray string quilt), those quilt blocks were rectangle blocks and that gave it a different look.

Happy scrappy quilting!
