Hello Friends! I'm so excited to share my Pure Delight Quilt plus matching drawstring bags!! I absolutely LOVE the positivity with the Pure Delight Fabric collection designed by Melanie Collette for Riley Blake Designs! The colors are so happy AND there are TWO amazing panels with positive sentiments!
Yes - I totally used the Pure Delight Panel for the center of my quilt! It was so much easier than trying to match all those points :) ! The quality of Riley Blake Designs panels are FABULOUS! Don't worry - I will share my cutting measurements for the quilt!

Ready to chat about the super cute Pure Delight drawstring bags! My daughter has already taken one... luckily I will share :).
Supplies for (1) Drawstring Bag:
- (1) Pure Delight Banners and Drawstring Bags Panel - Pure Delight Designed by Melanie Collette for Riley Blake Designs
- 1/2 yard for drawstring bag lining and bias tape - Pure Delight Designed by Melanie Collette for Riley Blake Designs
- OPTIONAL - Clover Bias Tape Maker 25 (blue one) 1"
Instructions are printed directly on the panel - so it's super easy! I decided to make 0.5" double folded bias tape for my drawstring bags... love it! The Clover Bias Tape Maker makes it easy and less burned fingers ;). Note - I cut the fabric 2" wide and then folded it to make 0.5" width fabric drawstrings.
I LOVED making these sweet drawstring bags and want to make so many more! I can't believe this was my first time making them!
