A Lovely Year of Finishes: January Finish

I finished making my drawstring bag and am all ready to send off my Dazzling Diamonds quilt to QuiltCon - what I vowed to make for my January finish.

I'm really pleased with how it turned out, especially considering this was my first time making a drawstring bag.

One of my goals for 2013 is to focus on making things besides quilts and expand my knowledge base.  I can officially say that I was able to do that with this bag.

I wound up lining the inside with Kona Corn Yellow and used some coordinating yellow ribbon for the drawstrings.

Now to ship the quilt out and visit it at QuiltCon in less than a month!

A Lovely Year of Finishes: January Check In

My goal for January is to complete the drawstring bag I need to ship my Dazzling Diamonds quilt in when I send it off to QuiltCon.

These are the fabrics I picked for the bag.  The main part of the bag will be the Jennifer Paganelli West Indies print with a stripe of Kona Charcoal and an accent of Wild Garden by Dan Bennet for Rowan.

Now I need to decide how big I want the bag to be and what I want to use for the lining.
