Japanese patchwork bags

You've seen the blocks, now here are the bags, six of them anyway, more to come hopefully. Thanks to Julie Eastman, our secretary, for a really good workshop! The black border fabric makes an effective contrast and the black shapes stand out.

A different shape, with a rectangular base. The others have an oval base.

A flap fastening with velcro, and nice turquoise tassel.

Using the same centre fabric throughout, or a mixture of related fabrics, they all look good.
