On to another patchwork bag-this one in oranges, pinks and blues.
These seem easy to put together -just gather a collection of scrappy sized pieces right?... but it's a little harder than it looks.And very time consuming.
First, you have to find the prints you want to use-or a color scheme. I knew that I wanted to work with these Amy Butler/Anna Maria Horner prints-they remind me of a summery boho chic vacation.
Next:Picking complementary pieces to put with them using only scraps I had on hand,I decided to go with blues.
Then still needing more-added pink. I like to add touches of black, and there is some green too-
Each piece has to be stitched at least once and pressed in between rows and it's neighbors...
Just need to choose a lining and handles top-stitch and put it all together...

This tote is a lot larger-it should be ready for the next post :)
