I cut flowers that I like, including some that were non- Philip Jacobs, though very few.<\/p>\n<p>I find that to be really strange because 1) it was a pattern rather than an original design; 2) none of the rooms in my house are pink; 3) I don&#8217;t really have a place to display it where the colors would fit in. This quilt really shows how I make quilts to please myself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53471\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53471\" style=\"width: 285px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210628_215850_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-53471\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210628_215850_wm-sm-285x300.jpg\" alt=\"All the I Spy Pouches\" width=\"285\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210628_215850_wm-sm-285x300.jpg 285w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210628_215850_wm-sm-768x808.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210628_215850_wm-sm.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 285px) 85vw, 285px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53471\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">All the I Spy Pouches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I find myself really liking bags lately. My workroom is still without its design walls, which makes it hard *for me* to work on quilts. As a result, I have been working on bags that are cut. You have seen my work on the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/ultimate-carry-all-bag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ultimate Carry All Bag<\/a> recently. That is just one of a few that I am working on. I have to say, though that I really like the I Spy pouches I have made as well as the Retreat Pouches.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-54150 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2021\/01\/retreat-pouch-finished\/20210102_085445_wm-sm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/20210102_085445_wm-sm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Retreat Pouch closed\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-51595\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-51595'>\n\t\t\t\tRetreat Pouch closed\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2021\/03\/retreat-pouch-2\/20210308_151835_wm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210308_151835_wm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Retreat Pouch #2\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-52210\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-52210'>\n\t\t\t\tRetreat Pouch #2\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I haven&#8217;t made the large version yet, but I have the frames, so I can do it any time.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d love to hear what you think of my favorites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After posted the most recent 26 Projects post, one kind reader asked me what my favorite was.
