My version of it is stitched on tea dyed fabric with "Wildflowers" by Caron in colour "bark". The squares are small and it goes fast so come on, have a go!
And if you don´t feel like sewing the 12 blocks, here is what you can make with one block. I was inspired by that to make this backpack.
I will show it to one of my quilt groups. It is easy to make and would look good with jeans as well I think. I sewed mine with furnishing fabric (just the right thing to make it a bit sturdier). The shoulder strap zipper is a nice feature too.
There is a pocket under the stitchery.
At the moment I am knitting socks for my dear uncle and I have to make one more cushion cover for guess who?! Yes, my dear sis!
I wish you a nice week-end.

Do you remember what size your original rectangle was?
Wonderful bags! I love the stitcheries you did too! And your Trip Around the World is great! it reminds me that blogging has become very much like that. Best wishes for a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ciao ciao
great backpack. Love the fabrics you used. good luck on the socks!
I tried knitting socks and well decided quilting was more to my liking!
I like to knit scarves and simple things.
I guess I need to take a class or two.
I love that knitting is more portable than quilting.
