Pattern Description:

These bags were inspired by the idea of using precuts to make them look incredibly different! These bags are all 14"x 14" x 4" a great toting size! But they all have very different and unique looks! The star would be fun to make pop off the bag! Maybe try using a White on Bold colors. The Diamond take strips and turn them into something fantastic! Batiks with solid accents would be really pretty! The Flying Geese bag takes such a traditional block and idea and turns into something fun and fresh. Use a contrasting background to make your geese fly off the page! Totes 2 and 3 can also be made really easily from Jelly Rolls! Enjoy!
