I am in the mood
to make bags but I had to clean and get ready to go to Texas, I made a
bunch of those cute Clematis Wristlet by Blue Calla for Christmas a
couple of years ago and I bought some pink flamingo fabric to make one
for my mother but just didn't get it done. Maybe I will take it with me
and do it at Barb's. 
Barb and I have both made a quilt using this fabric and we used a pattern from the book "One Wonderful Curve". We are going to post it as soon as I get mine quilted which as you can guess will have to wait till I get back from Texas. Here is the book and a little info.
One Wonderful Curve
Using
the Quick Curve Ruler to make a one-size, curved block from simple
pieced shapes, this one-size, one-curve block is the basis for each of
the amazingly unique quilts. Complete how-to instructions and
illustrations. Easy enough for an experienced beginner and challenging
enough for an advanced quilter. Note: the Quick Curve Ruler is required
and sold separately.
