A Reveal and 52 lists in 52 weeks//week 51

In addition to receiving my pouch in the FAITH Circle pouch swap yesterday, I found out that my secret partner, Melissa, also received the one I made her. So now for the reveal . . .
Melissa's inspiration mosaic had alot of rainbow bits in it, so that's where I started. Other details I wanted to incorporate were an inside pocket, a contrasting zip, and a flat bottom.
Elizabeth Hartman's "Perfect Zip Bags" pattern had several of the design features I wanted, and it was fun to try a new pattern. I made a Style C bag using Stone Quilter's Linen as the main body of the bag. And then there was the rainbow wave that I mimicked from Melissa's mosaic. The thread for topstitching is my old favorite King Tut "Jacob's Coat".
I finished it off with a loopy rainbow handle, really having enjoyed just creating as I went.

 On to this week's list - the next-to-last one!
List 51: Wouldn't it be cool if.....
Very cool indeed.

    What a great bag and I agree, a very lucky swap partner. Intrigued to see what topic of last list will be. My list would look very similar to yours!

    Love the pouch! Did you hand stitch the blanket stitch around the rainbow or was that done on machine? I'm sure your partner is thrilled!

    I so love the pouch you made for Melissa! The contrast between the bright fabrics and the linen really gives it pizzaz :)

    Great list! I totally agree with each statement!
