A friend from church was sorting through her fabric closet and gave me her remnants. Usually when this happens, I end up throwing most of it away because it's scraps. But it was entirely different in this case. Not that everything was my first choice in fabric, but they were mostly good, big pieces! I've been wanting to make a big blanket for us to take to the beach instead of the usual towel/sheet assortment I usually come up with. So, I was able to take 4 fabrics that complimented each other and make a 7'x8' beach blanket along with a handy carrying bag.
It's folded up but this is what the front looks like: 10" squares of 4 different fabrics pieced together.
The back is a large piece of the blue/cream plaid with a border of the dark blue.
The bag is lined in the rust color and has a pocket on the outside.
Stay tuned for more adventures with the remnant bag. . . . . . I've got big plans!
