Hi Quilting Friends,
The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for March is RED. I’ve already stitched a RED FPP Coffee Mug block and a nice stack of RED Signature blocks, but I’m not finished with RED scraps yet!
Zipper Bag
I found a panel of RED and white fabrics in my orphan block drawer, left over from a project that I don’t even remember making. I decided that it would be a perfect start for my RED scrappy zipper bag.

I cross-cut the panel into sections, and then pieced the sections together to make a grid with alternating colors. The resulting pieces weren’t quite large enough for the zipper bag, so I added pieces of a nice RED and white dot fabric to the sides and top of each piece to make the front and back sides of the zipper bag. I shared my panels in last week’s post, prior to quilting.

I quilted the front and back panels with simple curved lines, and a single line of feathers along the sides.
The lining for the zipper bag is a pretty RED, pink, and white dot print. I used another red and white print to make the zipper stop.

This finish is my fourth scrappy zipper bag for 2026. Want to see the others?
Happy quilting,
Sharon
