Quilt as you go Needle cases



For Easter my sister sent Lulu a beautiful patchwork drawstring bag which was made with the Quilt as you go technique. I love the effect this technique creates and it's a great way to use smaller pieces of fabric.

I decided to try it out and must say it's so much fun! Earlier this year I bought these gorgeous Japanese fabeics which I haven't had the chance to use yet. I decided to make 2 needle cases with them which turned out so pretty!
