Swapping

A while ago, I came across a post from Jennifer who blogs over at Secondhand Dinosaur for a Favorite Fabric Swap.  She was looking for some very nice fabrics (she has excellent taste in fabrics) and the last print she had posted which was a red poppy print that looked familiar.  I looked through my scraps and found that I had a few large-ish scrap pieces of that print and sent an e-mail off to Jennifer to see if she would like them.  She said she would and we decided on a scrap and small drawstring bag or zipper pouch swap.

From her blog I saw that she liked solids and did not care too much for pink so when I saw the trims of different blues and teals from my son's quilt I had to use them in a draw string bag for her (yes, these are the same scraps that made their way into the Improv Quilt Two I posted last week).

I used In Color Order's tutorial, it was a very well and clearly written tutorial and the only thing I changed was to add a scrappy band in the middle of the bag.  I used this fun ruler twill tape and some hoarded Summersville house print fabric for the lining, and I think that it worked very nicely.

Post Updated:  I bought the twill tape from this lovely etsy store LittleRedCottage.


The drawstring bag and scraps have been mailed off and received so I could show you them here.

Thanks for stopping by!
