I left it until the last minute and made a needle case over the first February weekend while DH watched the big Sportsball game, as Pam calls it. I wasn&#8217;t procrastinating, I was just out of town. And, of course, Scrapitude embroiled some of my attention during that weekend.<\/p>\n<p>My idea was to use scraps, but I have to say that after working on Scrapitude, I wanted some symmetry of fabric and some calm. I love my Scrapitude quilt so far, but it has a lot going on.<\/p>\n<p>I had a love piece of Martha Negley vegetable fabric that was large enough for the outside. It is a little dark, but the eggplant was so wonderful.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21919\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21919\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/PICT4494sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21919\" alt=\"Charlotte's Needle Case - inside\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/PICT4494sm-300x116.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/PICT4494sm-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/PICT4494sm.jpg 941w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21919\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charlotte&#8217;s Needle Case &#8211; inside<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Inside is completely different.
