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!

What a fun way to use Lori`s block from this week. I have yet to start mine,other things happening at the moment. But this is inspiring me to do so.
