Lemonade Anyone??
 

They always say if life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

A couple of years ago I purchased some small African batik panels and didn't know what I was going to make out of them. They've been in my "Hmmmmm" pile ever since.

A couple of weeks ago I was at my guild meeting and a bunch of scraps (cornerstones and sashing maybe?) on the freebie table caught my eye. I quickly gathered up someone else's "lemons" and here's the lemonade bag I made.

Nice job - a very handsome bag

Perfect color combo!

I'd say that is lemonade supreme! You matched up the panels with someone else's cast offs perfectly. The result is beautiful.

The orange is a nice bright colour

Really nice bag!!!!

that is truly a work of art - call it lemonade or whatever, I love it!

Great bag, love those fabrics. You have given me inspiration on how to incorporate some of my African prints.

Wow, you really made a great piece out of the blocks and scraps. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Lovely bag! Great version of lemonade! ;)

What a great bag! Love, love, love the colors!!

Good job on your lemonaid!!

Thanks. I like African prints and I've made a couple of quilts using them. They just seem to vibrate with color - at least to me.

Very nice!

Sew cute and nothing sour about it.

Very clever of you, great bag.

Very nice matching fabric - great job on the bag too.

Excellent eye to come up with such a nice bag in such an unusual way!

Beautiful! How wonderful to use someone else's scraps and end up with something so beautiful!

Beautiful, just as if it was meant to go together.
