Spring Bag

I

I had to stay home with my son one day this week and I decided to attempt this purse.  The pattern comes form the McCall's Quilting magazine - March/April issue.  It looked big and it is.  I was drawn to it because I love the black and whites.  I have to admit that all of this fabric is scraps from the quilt I made for Callie.  So when I saved  a  2 1/2" strip and wondered why, it was because I might find this great pattern that has 122  

2 1/2" squares, right?.  There is none left.  

I didn't think I wanted the flower, but as you can see, it was begging for some color.
