For my nieces Addie and Alex, I sewed a colored pencil roll for drawing fun!

I started by putting the pencils in spectrum order and then I matched the pencils to fabric.

After I cut out what felt like a million tiny rectangles of fabric, the sewing was the easy part!

In the end, I made a “pencil book” (as Addie called it when they opened it), which I hope will be fun for them for many years!

How do you like Ellie’s hipster yellow leggings?!

The quilting pattern on this one is fun – it’s one continuous line.

The pattern for this project is in the book, Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts.
