| Quilt Blocks Make These Gift Bags Extra Special
I always love small project patterns, and handmade gifts, and these gift bags provide the perfect wrap. These cute gift bags go together quickly, and the blocks use up the smallest of fabric scraps. You can start and finish one in between times, and put some away ready for use when you need a gift bag in a hurry!
Make them up in any color combination. The bags are nicely sized to tuck in sewing notions, a pattern and/or even a charm pack. This Courtyard Steps bag would be so much fun to make for quilting friends and can be used after in the sewing room, or for projects on the go. A quaint finished size of 7″ x 8″.
Additional 3 designs for Valentines, Birthday, and Christmas are included in the pattern. The gift bags are from 8″ – 14″ tall and can be filled with all kinds of goodies!
Use a bird print in the small square of this block for bird lovers at heart. It’s a delightful Valentines gift bag too!
The tree needn’t be just for the holidays. Leave off the star and use it for garden and outdoor lovers.
