My Chookshed challenge progress

Okay, this has been on my Chookshed challenge list for far too long. 3rd time lucky. I did a Flip La K workshop and bought a few rulers. I wanted to keep the separated from my ordinary rulers as the have instruction booklets with them. So I decided I wanted to make a bag. Out came the fabric I used at the workshop. Batiks and hand dies and greens. 


Next I had to decide on a layout for the 5 different rulers and the special embroidered topper my friend made. (the one I lost, found, lost and found again).
I had already made a few of the flying geese blocks. I wanted to incorporate a made block so I could easily see what the rulers made.


Here are the other 4 blocks





It is pretty intense working out all the measurements and how to assemble with clear pockets and zips. But here is the start of one side


And with the clear pockets on


Here is the site that shows the rulers

So I am basing it on the T shape design bag that has 7 pockets. I am using the T shape but not adding the outside pockets. I am adding different size clear pockets on the outside front and back.

I need a bit of a rest after all that so the rest is yet to come soon. 
As it being done in green I’m linking up with

Great blocks Jo and the holder is also a great idea. Well done.

Very intriguing especially as I don't know the rulers in question lol. So looking forward to seeing the finished bag. xx

Wow. I am intimidated! If it were me I'd have broken them in half and put them in the trash but I know if anyone will take the time to figure them out, it's you. Can't wait to see how the project turns out.

Intriguing blocks made with the rulers.

Love those fabrics Jo. I'm sure you'll have it all worked out and you will be showing us a completed storage bag and rulers very soon.

That is a lot of work and taking a lot of thinking out. It will be so worth it in the end. Good on you for doing it before bits go missing again.
