I think it turned out pretty good! She says it is a quick pattern, and she is right - it took me just over 2 hours to make this little bag - it's far from perfect, but I'm quite pleased with my first try! Here's a view from a different angle:
***
Remember the swap blocks I sent off in return for the red and white ones? When I pieced the flying geese units in the "On the Oregon Trail" blocks I did quick corners, and I saved all the cut-offs. For a few weeks now I have used them for leaders and enders, and some days ago they became these:
They are about 5" finished, which is a bit of an odd size for me, but they are quite cute :o) I think they will be used for a cushion for my sofa - I have a couple that really needs a new cover! Just have to figure out a way to set them.
Have a wonderful weekend! My plan is to (hopefully) get the quilting done on the red and white swap quilt - I still have some ways to go so fingers crossed!

Så søtt dette er då! Kjempefint. Og leaders and enders, vel, eg veit om det, men har aldri prøvd. Kanskje eg skal gjere eit forsøk?
That's a very cute little bag. Look froward to seeing your cushion cover ... the star blocks are very sweet.
How cute!
Thank you for a good blog and lots of good links!
Great job on the bag. Doesn't it feel good to have a finish....
Your bag is very cute, Anne Ida! Thanks for sharing the link, I just might try this one!
I made one of these bags on my retreat weekend last year......pretty quick to come together........
The bag is great. Vi ses på mandag :)
Se der ja, så flott. Det er sikkert mange som vil prøve seg på denne. Vesken var kjekk å sy, og jeg måtte jo bare prøve.
Cute bag! I might try it for myself, maybe a new bag for my trip to Seattle?!
Thanks for telling where you got the great tutorial, it is such a cute bag! I like you blocks, making a cushion is a neat idea!
