Last Christmas my homemade ornament/gift/favor was a quilt bag.
The pattern is called a liberated checkerboard block.
the pattern
{vertical and horizontal lines are meant to be random}
front
back {and lining}
strap/hanger
sew one back piece and one lining piece
right sides together
with strap/hanger in the middle
{call this: piece a}
sew one front piece to one lining piece
{call this: piece b}
place piece a on top of piece b right sides facing
sew around leaving a 2" opening at bottom
turn right side out and stitch opening closed
tuck lining into bag
ta-da
I found a book called Visions of Sugarplums at an antique store
I tore out pages and rolled them up to put in each bag
I also added some greenery, a candle, a candy cane and berries
finished bag
the basket of favors ready to go
I found Liberated Checkerboard Block directions here.
I modified mine to be 3x3.
