Quilted Gypsy Toolbox What A Handy Tote To Have

Make This Quilted Gypsy Toolbox, Not Just a Pretty Piece

What a nifty idea. A quilters Gypsy toolbox! Just throw everything in and get it back out again just like a handy toolbox… for busy quilters!! Use plain and mix floral fabrics. Use blanket stitch on the edges. Applique flowers and designs on. The creativity is endless. It’s so pretty. You feel like just reaching over and picking it up!

Here are a lot of different finishes and designs for this quilted gypsy toolbox. From florals with blanket stitch around the edges, to appliqued flowers, balls and frills. Not to mention the cutest bird on one of the handles!

If you’ve never tried applique with your quilt projects, this pattern will give you a pretty good idea of how to use it when you’re making the toolbox. Or else use the prettiest floral and striped fabrics and it will look great anyway!
