Holy COW! This is AWESOME! Love the quilt pattern. My daughter's make lots of these albums...well not quite like THIS but the paper bag kind with my leftovers. Can't wait to show them yours. Great work!!!
Oh - um - I'll have to check. It's a lever style that I got at Michaels. It wasn't the biggest one they had - but the second to the biggest one. I THINK it's an inch and a half.
My paper bags are a little smaller than standard - the cover is 4 and 3/4 inches from side to side and five inches top to bottom - and I ended up having to trim the blocks to make them fit. If I'd had a little bit bigger bag they'd have fit fine.
I can't claim credit for this idea. I took a class at my LSS with Sarah - who is an AWESOME teacher, and learned the secret trick to create this cute quilt pattern.
The secret is a big a square punch. I used one to punch out all the patterned paper squares. Then I cut them on the diagonals, inked them, and glued them onto black base squares, which I'd also punched with my square punch.
It looks complicated, but it really wasn't. The trick was getting it square, and using a base square to glue onto really helped with that part.
