That sized pattern made a big shopping bag or beach bag. So my squares where 4 1/2 inches, the triangles cross cut from 2 5 inch squares, while the handles were 7 inches long by about 1 and 1/2 inches.
Next take a rectangle of fabric and fold it right sides together, on the wrong side draw 6 petal shapes. Then sew with a tight stitch around the heavy line twice. Cut out each petal about 1/8 of and inch from sewing line. Turn right side out. Slip stitch end shut. Then taking a large “crowbar” of a needle sew them together and put a button in the center and attach to bag.
Here is some detailed photos.
I’ve left some blank spaces for Jennifer to add her own special beads, lace, buttons or special “broken but not out” jewelry.

Oh! There it is, all revealed. I love crazy quilts. It is my dream to have enough random fabrics to one day make one. I should probably just start making random squares, eh?
