Decisions, decisions

OK I have had an idea for this bag for a while, but time is marching on and it needs to be complete by early October.  Likewise there is the Threave Challenge project which needs to be completed - the front is only part sewn, and unfortunately I can't share it fully with you here until December, but I do hope to add a few teaser photos soon.


So back to the Sanquhar Challenge project - how do I proceed?  
  • stick with the original design and do 2 woven fabric panels and completely seed stitch them with the Sanquhar pattern - 1 front and 1 back panel of the bag
  • do I do both panels but limit the stitching to a square section of the woven panel on each side
  • do 1 woven panel and completely seed stitch it
  • do 1 woven panel and do only a square section of seed stitching
Sanquhar Challenge bag
if one of the bag panels doesn't include the woven panel it will be quilted in the grid format and if I've got time I could fill in the complimenting panel with seed stitch to reflect the design.  Otherwise I could just leave it.

Any advise crafting buddies.

I love the idea of just doing the stitching on a square of the woven part.

I also think the idea of quilting a grid and stitching on part of that sounds great too!

I love it when the idea is similar, but the execution is different.

Can't wait to see what you decide!
