    Default Purse I made from a basket of small scraps

    I made this purse/or laptop bag from small scraps in my scrap bucket - What a great way to get rid of tons of small scraps.

    Very nice! I like the texture, it is different from any I have seen before. Would you share either your process or what pattern you used?

    I did not use a pattern. I cut 2 18x20 sheet that I had and never used. and then layered tons of small scraps from my bucket...2 1/2 and less - about 6 layers, then laid a white left over piece on top and then the other 18x20 piece of sheet oh and also left over batting on top of the first sheet - then I quilted lines up/down - left to right...then I cut the squares up and also a few layer under it...threw it in the wash and then made a bag.

    How clever of you to do this. perhaps you could copyright and sell the pattern. Unique.
