Farm Girl Vintage 2 Sew Along

It's Farm Girl Friday!!! I'm excited to share my Bright Zinnia block today for the Farm Girl Vintage 2 Sew Along with Fat Quarter Shop.  I absolutely love Lori Holt fabric and her patterns so I had to definitely join in!

I chose to make the 12" Bright Zinnia block from Lori's Farm Girl Vintage Book and used her Sew Cherry 2 Collection - it's the perfect match! 

I was deciding if I wanted to make a mini quilt or pillow, but then I decided I needed a vinyl zipper bag! I absolutely love these handmade project bags! 

Bright Zinnia Vinyl Project Bag 16" x 14"

Supplies:

• Farm Girl Vintage 2 Book by Lori Holt
• Sew Cherry 2 by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs
• ByAnnie Vinyl
• YKK Handbag zipper
• Hobbs Batting
• Lori Holt Zipper Charm

How I made mine: 

1. Make (1) 12" Bright Zinnia Block
2. Attach (1) 2.5" x 12.5" strips to right and left side of 12" block
3. Attach (1) 2.5" x 16.5" strip to top of block. Block is now 16.5" x 14.5"
4. Follow Fat Quarter Shop's  video on making a Vinyl Project Bag.  Available here  or your favorite pattern.

-Note: I used Hobbs 80/20 batting instead of Annie's Soft & Stable.  Choose your preferred batting.

I love Vinyl Project Bags as I can see exactly what I have inside! They are perfect for holding my quilt blocks, crochet projects, fabric, books, or anything!  Plus it's a project I can make over a weekend! The perfect project! 

Do you have a favorite weekend project?

Happy Farm Girl Friday!
