Four more purses to donate to
Sew Powerful. 3 of these purse flaps were quilt blocks that I picked up for free several months ago on the freebie table at the quilt group. As soon as I saw them I thought
purse flaps! There were several quilt blocks in each stack I got, so I will be sharing the others too another day. They sure made nice flaps. The last one was an appliqué I made quite a while ago.

| I got a stack of these quilt blocks all in different prints, some with dark backgrounds like this one and some were light backgrounds. I added a few scraps to bring them up to the flap size and then made the purse body out of corduroy. Added a button with a stitched flower for a bit of bling. |

| Back slip pocket. |
 |
| These purse flaps were in another stack of quilt blocks I got. They were all pinwheel quilt blocks in various colors. Again, I added scraps to make them large enough for the flaps and double stacked buttons to give them that pinwheel look. |

| I also used this corduroy for the purse bodies. |
 |
| This was an appliqué that I made a while back. I found it and decided it too needed to become a purse flap. |
love the girl with the umbrella, i remember something similar in a quilted monthly calendar book. Your design is nicer because you always embellish so nicely. the pinwheels are fun i want to blow on the block and make it spin.
ReplyDeleteThey are all gorgeous, Daryl! I love to see how you embellish each one!
