I forgot to show you my finished bag. Most of the fabrics are from Ethiopia and were given to me by my friend Tsigereda who used to live there. When she went home for a visit I asked her to bring me back a fat quarter. Of course, she wondered what a fat quarter was, and I explained that it was a piece of fabric. She returned to the U.S. with a pile of fabrics that I have cherished over the years. I recently posted here about making her a quilt from those fabrics. The above bag was made from the leftover fabrics. The pattern is Street Strip Bag by Quilted Memories. I love it.
