To Market, To Market With my New Bag

Here is a fun project that I can share with you.  One of my fellow Island Batik Ambassadors blogged about making a Market Bag.  She also shared that if you join the Facebook Group  "Annie's Quilting Group" that you can get the pattern free. 

Since I was looking for an easy project, and it used 5" squares, I decided to just do it.  I had a pack of Moda "Cherish Nature" - or at least enough of it to make this work.  You need 35 squares.

I started sewing squares together randomly.  

Then I thought,  "I need to make it so the same color isn't side by side."  I mostly succeeded...  

.....................except for those two green squares  on the left. 

Therefore the other side is  the front!

This is a fun bag to make and if you are adventurous you could probably change the design a bit.  You could certainly piece blocks that would come out to 5 inches square to use in it.  You could use three  5 inch strips or...... well you see that it is pretty easy to change up the design of the other shell.

If you make one, please show it.

Until Next Time,
