I really wanted a cute project bag to take on vacation. My mom gave me the main fabric years ago. It was leftover from a pillow blanket she made many years ago. I had the perfect fabric to go with it and off I went. I made the large bag, a small zipper pouch, thread catcher, project mat and wrist keychain (not pictured). Tangled progress. This is at 72.16% complete. That's 197,210 stitches down 76,070 stitches to go And I have a finish! My travel project is complete! My Stained Glass Purple Rose is complete. It has been on several adventures but finally it's done. This is 27,783 stitches. Started 13 Jun 2025 and finished 13 July 2026.
This was fun and so relaxing to put together! Just randomly grabbed some larger scraps of fabric and cut 2" squares. The white background is also 2" squares but you could do strips if you wanted to. The red border I cut at 2.5" and the binding is the leftover 2" color blocks.
This would make such a cute baby blanket just by either cutting the squares larger or adding more hearts. I think that will have to be a future project!!
Finished size is approximately 24" x 24"
When testing out different layouts. I initially had 2 different white background fabrics. One is plain white and the other has a tone on tone print. Eventually I decided I wanted all of the hearts to have the print so made 2 more for the final project. The 2 using the plain white fabric I made into the small 12 x 24 hanging.
Some of the different layout options I tried. I think this first one would be really cute with a secondary pattern in the center.
