This month will be making the quick and easy Jumbo sized “H Bag” by Orange Dot Quilts. This is a convenient way to carry all your bulky supplies to class. I will have the wooden dowel rods used for the handles for sale in class or you can go to your local hardware store and have the handles cut. I prefer using either a cotton/linen blend or home dec fabrics for the outside of the bag and regular quilter’s cotton for the inside of the bag. If possible, avoid directional fabrics for this project. Please see the Prep Work below. To complete the project in class, it is important to complete the prep work.
