Bag panel progress

 Here is a little snap of what I am working on lately. Its a panel for a bag. I recently went to the AQC here in Melbourne and purchased some Japanese pre cut squares to make a bag, which I started then had a heap of little off cuts that I couldn't bare to waste so I cut them into circles by tracing around the base of a cotton reel before cutting. I then cut 2 inch squares from the remaining fabric and pieced two panels 6 x 6 squares each, popped a circle in the centre of each square using some Vliesofix then hand stitched through them all on the diagonal with some hand dyed thread
                                                                    a closer look
                 Both panels done. Now I just have to decide what type of bag to turn them into.
