Scrap Bag Sampler


Who's excited about Friday's kick off on the #scrapbagsampler sewalong ???

Block instructions will be published every Friday on our blogs and we will all be posting our own versions of the block on Instagram too. Keep checking that hashtag !! #scrapbagsampler

Towards the end of March you'll have all the blocks and can get on with finishing your project. You could make the bucket bag which Sue has graciously designed and will share with us on 20th March. Sue's design needs a panel 30” by 8” (finished) and she has used :- six 4” squares, three 6” squares, one 2” square, one 2 x 4” strip and two 2” x 6” strips. Do you already have some small blocks which are unloved? Incorporate them into your design. You can mix and match, most of our blocks are variable in sizes. You can customise your favourite bag pattern, tote bag, project bag, how about a cute zipped pouch, a mini quilt, you could even make more blocks for a baby quilt or super size them up for a lap quilt. 

Use those scraps, they will just keep multiplying otherwise. The end of the sewalong will be 9pm GMT Easter Monday April 13th and please share your finished projects using the #scrapbagsampler hashtag. Myself and all the designers can't wait to see what you make and share our own finishes with you. Roll on Friday !!!
