    Default Ugly bag + orphan blocks = cute shopping bag
    I really don't like using freebie promo bags. So I looked through my orphan blocks, added some batting scraps and I think I ended up with a pretty nice looking shopping bag. Looks totally different with that printing covered up. I'll have to say the appliqué was a little tricky since I didn't undo the side seams.

    Very cool. Looks a lot better now and great idea to use up the orphan blocks that are sitting there saying do something with me
