Weekend Progress: Teal bottled rainbow block and a simple handmade bag

This weekend, I finally got into the Bottled Rainbows quilt. My progress–I cut all 16 Neutral Kona blocks and finished the teal block (with batting) using a quilt as you go method.

I can already tell that I’m going to enjoy this much more than quilting a large piece all at once, because it’s so much easier to maneuver. And there’s a great sense of accomplishment in seeing a glimpse of the finished quilt!

I also whipped up this reversible bag from items in my stash (fabric, purse handles and trim are things I’ve had for at least a year), and it’s going to be a contribution to a silent auction held at my church in a couple weekends.

My favorite part–the polka dot lime trim on the inside pocket. And those fun handles, although they seriously make me want to lay on a beach somewhere.
