We learned to do crumb quilting some time ago. This time we’re going to use the crumb quilt pieces to make a tote bag.
If not interested in making the bag with fabric scraps you can make it with fabric squares or just a favourite print.

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.
- Order Turnabout Patchwork on Amazon
- Order Turnabout Patchwork directly from Martingale (e-book only)
See all the quilts in the book in a real life project
