I just love tutorials, don’t you? They’re great for trying fun new projects and learning new skills. Helen at Show Your Workings blog has a tutorial for making a Japanese Knot Bag.
The bag only requires two fabric quarters. I chose two different versions of Bethany Reynolds Stack-N-Whack's "Ascot" by Blank Quilting.
The bag is reversible, a feature I like a lot.
And guess what? It’s for you—at least one of you anyway. Tomorrow morning when I get up, I’m going to draw a name from all the comments left on this particular post and let you know who gets the Japanese Knot Bag.
Why am I doing this? This is my 200th blog post. The Japanese Knot Bag is my little thank you for the encouragement, friendship, tolerance for my sense of humor, and inspiration with which you’ve blessed me during my nascent blog life.

Congrats on your 200th blog!! I think I'm about 200 also... but my one year anniversary is coming up on the 30th. So I'll do a celebration on that post.
The purse is cute... I love your choice of color and fabrics. Please don't put my name in for the drawing because you have been so giving to me already.

Very cute bag and congratulations on the number of posts! You have quite a following of readers!
That purse is wonderful, and I will be adding it to my long list of to dos. I think it's actually not a list any more, probably a novella. Thanks for encouraging my novella, and sharing all your wonderful projects.
It's so pretty! I can't wait to try one.
I just found your blog and I love the knot bag. Thank you so much for including the tutorial. I love tutorials too!
Please include my name in your drawing. Thank you!
OH aren't you a sweetie!!! I just love that print.
Hugs!!!
I don't even know what a fat quarter is, and I certainly don't know how to sew, but I know beauty when I see it and everything you make is lovely - including the Japanese Knot Bag. I'm totally envious of your talent.
Wow - I love this bag. So cute and such lovely fabric. Thanks for the pointer to the tutorial. Congratulations on your 200th post, too!
It came out really well, so glad you liked the tutorial :)

I love the bag and your blog. Congrats.
Junie Moon, I have read ALL of your posts. I was so excited when you started your blog, as I'd been regularly drooling over your flicker account. I can't believe it's been 200 already. Everyday I look to you for inspiration and FANTASTIC artistry. I love how you use creativity (and fabric, yay!) to make your home more useful and organized in such a beautiful way. Cheers to you Junie Moon!
Lovely! I was introduced to your blog at the beginning by Ms Kwitty. Please don't enter me in the give away, but that is a lovely bag and a great idea for me to whip together tomorrow as a gift for Ella's dance teacher!!! Thanks for the great idea just when I needed it. Funny how things work that way! :-)
You are always full of good ideas Junie. I have never heard of that before.
Thanks for always showing us something new.
