Description
The bag I made uses seven fat quarters which provides a good variety of color and pattern. The patterns on the fabrics I used were quite large. The beauty of this is that when cut, the fabric looks different each time. Don’t be afraid to pick large bold patterns!
The end result is a stylish tote bag showing off the wonderful Kaffe Fassett prints. Something to be admired. This design also works well with bright batiks or African fabric.
