The rule for these blocks was simple,
pick ANY three fabrics that are light, medium and dark.
This paralyzed me for the longest time.
I started grouping fabric by threes, one of each....dark, medium and light. But nothing seemed right. It just looked like a big mess.
So I put it all away and started over. I just grabbed a light and put it with something dark.
Then, I went back to look for the cross part. I think I ended up with mostly mediums there.
Construction wise, these were pretty easy. I love the way they look and think who ever wins these will be so lucky! They will make such a cool quilt.
I started cutting and sewing fabric for teeny tiny gift bags. Big enough for a handful of candy and gift card. Or just candy. I was hoping I would have a few little bags done by this time.
But no, not yet. They are based on (this sweet little bag pattern)
I will get back at them later.

I love the blocks. I think you did a great job on color picking.
The blocks are really pretty! I can't wait to see your little bags.
They turned out great! I still haven't made it past my first 3, and at this point, I don't think it is going to happen. But I did make a stocking for myself last night! I am so psyched! I've wanted a patchwork stocking forever! I hope to post later today.
Oh my, seeing your blocks makes me want to go do some RIGHT NOW! Yes, RIGHT NOW! I did read over the instructions again yesterday.
Wow, those tiny bags in the pattern finish to 4x4x2! Will yours be that small??
