The Patchwork Wristlet

I am so happy with my new design The Patchwork Wristlet. I designed this about three years ago, wanting to work on it but not having the time with school. The design has been stuck in my mind since I first sketched it out and a few months ago I finally made a mock-up.

original sketch. good thing my mind remembers what I want.

I've mentioned before that I am NOT a quilter. I don't think I could have the patience for the amount of work that is involved in a quilt. This patchwork definitely took some time, but I've been making it in small batches, just enough for two bags at a time, which allows me to enjoy the process rather than dread it.

work in progress photos-the fabric has a total of 9 patches across and 7 down.

The finished bag. More photos and info on etsy.
