    Default Kona Swatches Tote

    Just finished a tote bag made from the Kona swatches fabric panel from 2017. I got it last fall is as part of a mystery grab bag from Hancock’s, intending to use all the fabrics as practice sandwiches for HollyAnne Knight’s Free Motion Quilting Academy. At least I practiced making ruler guided clamshells on the outer bag. I think it will be perfect for fabric shopping!

    Innovative. Like It. Does it present as a panel ? Swatches = Stitch
    Into rows then.

    Yes. It was a panel. And there is a pattern for the tote: https://bearcreekquiltingcompany.com...rsibleTote.pdf

    I had one of those panels for years and couldn't think of what to do with it. Never thought of a tote bag. Eventually I sold it to someone.
