Coral, coral, coral
I've had visions of coral dancing in my head the last few weeks. Why? I signed up for secret swap for the Sewing Summit later this month. My partner's inspiration color is: coral. Do you think I've nailed it?
I used some of my favorite Tula Pink Prince Charming hexagons to create this little needle book. I loved the hexagons and chose to have the quilting echo the shape. Loving the effect!
Second item highlighted a piece of Cloud 9 Fabrics and gave me the chance to use the Summer Madras Tote tutorial from Noodlehead. I chose Kona Charcoal for the main and used the coral fabric for the exterior pockets and lining. Anyone else a fan of fun colored linings?!?! I know I am!
From my partner's Flickr page, she's not into a lot of patterned fabrics and so I am hoping that this mix of pattern and solid will be loved.

I will admit that I made a mistake, well technically two mistakes. In my haste and excitement to make the bag, I made the handles with the Kona without any interfacing. I am in the process of figuring out how to remove and repair the handles. Any thoughts? Can I "add structure" to the handles without removing them? Oh dear, this is why I typically stick with quilting... This is why we try new things; to learn!
Hope you have a fabulous Tuesday!
It's not so bad. Why don't you try the bag first before attempting to remove, rip and repair.
