Hexagon Heart Bag

            I usually have a few long-term projects on the go (projects that end up taking me multiple years), so I wanted to make a 'quick' project. Someone gave me the striped navy blue fabric and I didn't know what to do with it. This winter I realized that it would make a great bag, and the blue would go so well with red, pink and orange. All but one these hexagon fabrics is Kaffe Fasset.

I handstitched the hexagons over the course of a month or two. For the bag I followed a tutorial called Simple Lined Tote by Felicity Quilts, on the 'OCD: Obsessive Crafting Disorder' blog. I changed the dimensions a bit (like making the straps longer). I will probably make a few other adjustments if I make another bag. The gussets at the bottom were new to me. Not sure I would do it that way again.

I hand appliqued the heart to the bag, then used red thread to essentially quilt each separate hexagon.

One of the best parts is that I only used my stash (including the thread) and scraps to make it.
