I finished 4 more
Sew Powerful Purses. I used up some miscellaneous quilt blocks that I have had for years for making the flaps. I made my daughter a twin sized quilt a long time ago when she was in her teens in purple and green. That was her favorite color combination at the time. I made the Bear's Paw quilt blocks using a variety of purple fabrics and green fabrics and some white fabric. At the time I went a bit overboard not knowing how many quilts blocks I would need to complete the quilt, so I made quite a few extra blocks. The blocks measure 6 3/4" square finished. Years ago I made about 3 pincushions too using the block and I still had quite a few blocks leftover. These are just the purses I have finished using these blocks, but I have at least 2 more than I am working on.
I set the blocks on point and added strips on all 4 corners to make the flap. I added buttons on some of the flaps. All these purses were made with a fine wale corduroy in purple and purple webbing for the straps.
