Hello! With all this rain happening here in Sunny Southern California, I'm wishing for a bountiful spring full of flowers! Till then, I'll settle on Simple Goodness fabric by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake Designs. Tasha runs the blog A Little Sweetness , and Simple Goodness is another series from her collections of pretty fabrics. Simple Goodness has the sweetest florals, cute illustrations, quilty blocks, and oh so much cuteness!

Simple Goodness Fabric |
I decided to make an eight pointed star block, which is a print in Simple Goodness fabric! To make it even cuter, I hand appliqued the sweet scalloped border around the block. I then took this block and turned into a Readers Tote Bag (or dolly bag, Rosalie already stole it from me and stuffed her dollies in it). I added pleather handles to soften it up.
Here's what I made:
