It presented a great opportunity to use some eco-dyed muslin from a couple of years ago which was inspired by India Flint's Bundle Book, using a process detailed in this post. I tore the dyed muslin into strips and paper-less pieced it (thanks Jude) into 2.75" squares ...

| Onion skin eco-dye |
which I stitched together, back-to-back ...

| Thimble flower eco-dye |
Then stitched the squares together along the inside edges and realized I needed to reinforce the seams. Which gave me the perfect excuse for using Deb Lacativa's "Dirty Threads" ...
I also dove into a collection of vintage buttons looking for a closure. I have no idea if this is shell or celluloid, but it seemed to fit ...
And lucky me ... since there were lots of scraps leftover, I got to piece them together into a handle ...
I'm realizing that paper-less piecing gives me such great pleasure ... thanks again Jude.
