What became an orphan block, has resulted in a tote bag. This block was first intended to become a jacket but ended up in my orphan bin instead. Also in the bin, was a pack of rail fence blocks and I just cut them up into 1-1/2” strips. Only the portion of the trees (see the blocked out area) was used for the bag and the remainder will be made into something else one day …. perhaps another tote bag.
This bag made its’ way to Peg in Australia for our SSCS.
So, take another look in your orphan bin and see if any blocks can be made into a tote bag.
Have a great day!
The bag is GORGEOUS!! Oh my gosh I just love it. Definitely another bag with the remaining orphan blocks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bag, I saw it on Peg's blog and thought it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out lovely! And now you get to see those beautifully pieced trees instead of having them tucked away... :-)
ReplyDeleteThose blocks made up into a perfect bag!
ReplyDeleteOh that's fabulous - love the idea of turning a block into a bag when it will never become a quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis orphan found a perfect home where it will be loved and admired for years to come! Very well done!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteI just love that bag, you can make another one and send it here ;-)

ReplyDeleteWell the orphan has a new home and will be very well looked after, always filled with quilting treats, love the bag.....Peg
ReplyDeleteI love the bag and Quilt Pixie is right. Bags often get seen far more than quilts do as they leave the house and parade around on someone's arm. So the trees will certainly be noticed. That's a very good idea!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2008.
Love that orphan bag -- what a great way to use that block! I'm also in love with your SSCS wall hanging, oh what fun! Hope your holidays were merry and bright and full of warmth and laughter!
