here's an adorable & quick 'go to' gift that will brighten any quilters day.
yall will need sixteen 1 1/2" x 5" strips of your choice.
{2 each of 8 different prints.}
i used honey bun strips.
rinse and repeat.

fold your fabric down to make a triangle.
mark a line 1 1/2" from your point.

stitch around the top of your bag.
seam rip about 1" on your liner so that you can pull the bag through.
pull the bag out through the opening.

and voila...you have a darn cute bag!!!
{you can even make it without the handles to make a cute little catch all bag.}
throw in a few charm packs to complete your gift.
{or maybe a few fat quarters & some rick rack.}
there's endless possibilities to what will make quilters happy.
hope yall enjoy.
toot your own horn!!!
if you make this, add the pic to my p.s. i quilt: sew & tell flickr group.
