last project quilting prompt for this season hand held

 

for project quilting 2026 last challenge, make something that fits in your hand, I made this bowl

I used this tutorial on epp technique, used a different color for each pentagon, times 12.

I covered 12 pentagons with 12 different fabrics and hand basted.  6 covered papers for the inside of the bowl, 6 covered papers for outside of the bowl.

I started this, gave up years ago, the individual pieces went into a scrap bin. Then I pulled them out for this challenge, sewed the inside of the bowl, then the outside, nested them and sewed the rest together by machine. Fiddly and stiff.

first I finished each side by hand sewing a whip stitch with thick perle cotton, then....
I folded each sewn pair down at the point, and hand stitched 4 french knots to hold the point down, then sewed a paper glitter flower to the point
here is the outside bits, one at a time, 





it's a great size to hold hand sewing supplies on the coffee table, sparkles and I love it. 
try the free tutorial, let me know if it was fun for you too
