  2. Jane Kunstmann on July 11, 2011 10:48 am

    maybe a light blue and a light green – together with different shades of bright red

  3. Betsy on July 11, 2011 10:52 am

    I’m really loving Aviary 2 by Joel Dewberry in purple right now – but the grey and yellow would be awesome, too…

  4. Ronnie on July 11, 2011 10:53 am

    I think blue and brown would be beautiful colors for the bag.

  5. Dollie on July 11, 2011 10:55 am

    Either pink and black or blue and yellow would be great colors for the bag.

  6. kimberlee on July 11, 2011 11:01 am

    I think yellow and blue would make a pretty bag. I love blue and yellow flowers.

  7. turtle on July 11, 2011 11:05 am

    i am thinking a nice french country blue/yellow combo or a purple/orange combo. But then again a little country western combo of soft blues, reds and browns may be my favorite!

  8. Charity on July 11, 2011 11:30 am

    Pinks~Yellows~Reds~Greens

  9. Sally O on July 11, 2011 11:33 am

    I was thinking red, blue and denim mix.

  10. Kerry James on July 11, 2011 11:56 am

    Oh, what a great giveaway – the bag is awesome. It would be a fun simmer project:-) I would do an aqua and red combination with touches of white.

  11. Diana on July 11, 2011 12:05 pm

    Citron-y green and a hot hot pink!

  12. KEC on July 11, 2011 12:09 pm

    I like pink and orange, with a little blue.

  13. Linda on July 11, 2011 12:13 pm

    I think a very cool color combination would be chocolate brown and tiffany blue. Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous giveaway. I would love to make this bag for my sister for her birthday!

  14. kama on July 11, 2011 1:22 pm

    I always have liked the pink/black/white or pink/black/lime green combo.

  15. jenna on July 11, 2011 1:57 pm

    i love red, fuchsia and pink together. close enough to flow well together but different enough to still be exciting.

  16. Kandi on July 11, 2011 2:05 pm

    I love this bag! It would be beautiful in shades of lavender and purple.

  17. Jhanna on July 11, 2011 2:12 pm

  25. Terri on July 11, 2011 10:40 pm

    I love this bag! I’ve ordered a Paris Apartment FQ in Apricot and hope to make a bag from that – lots of orange with touches of green, blue, yellow and lavender thrown in. I think it will be lovely, but a free class would make it that much better! Thanks for the chance to win.

  26. Lori G. on July 11, 2011 10:52 pm

    Pinks & oranges! I have some of Bari’s fabric and the book so I would LOVE to take the class to see her make this on video!

  46. Lelia on July 12, 2011 7:44 am

    What would be a pretty color combo for a Patchwork Rose Zippered Bag?

    Colorful flowers — the background would be light greens and pinks/yellows.

    That would be my idea.

  47. Joyce on July 12, 2011 7:52 am

    The colour for me would be black and brown – so that it can be taken to the office.

  48. Lori Kinney on July 12, 2011 7:53 am

    Love the purse! just beautiful!

  49. Stephanie S on July 12, 2011 8:13 am

    There would be so many great color combinations for this bag. To start, I’d love to do one in shades of blue with some pops of orange.

  50. Hilde on July 12, 2011 8:31 am

    My favourite color is blue, so the picture on top of this post is very appealing.

  51. Joan on July 12, 2011 8:49 am

    Natural burlap and lime green accents.

  52. smfsprout on July 12, 2011 9:10 am

    I know it may sound odd to some, but I love the combination of purple and lime green. They are both so vibrant that they just pop when they are together.

  53. Catie on July 12, 2011 9:25 am

    hello
    coffee, blues, and bolds
    Cheers
    Catie

  54. Amy on July 12, 2011 9:29 am

    Oh, lots of choices for this bag….
    I would probably go with either reds/browns for fall/winter or hot pink/bright greens for summer! Love the bag!

  55. Gayle on July 12, 2011 11:15 am

    I am such a fan of red and white – I think the bag would be awesome in those colors – with the material in different patterns!

  64. Carmen on July 12, 2011 2:19 pm

  65. Pixel Maker on July 12, 2011 2:19 pm

    Dusty rose and pearl grey with shades of lavender

  70. Hilary on July 13, 2011 2:32 am

    I’d be making it with autumn colours of rust and ochre with tan and cream contrasts.

  71. Siobhan on July 13, 2011 3:36 am

    I love red and turquoise or purple, orange and yellow-green.

  72. Susan on July 13, 2011 8:37 pm

    I think a cottage rose print with solid accents in cream, turquoise and pink chiffon would be beautiful! How inspiring for a carry-all knitting or quilting bag. This design is lovely.

  73. Liz on July 13, 2011 10:18 pm

    green and pink would be a great color combo! I saw someone pair pretty antique greens & pinks in a magazine recently and can’t stop thinking about it. Dee-lish!

  74. Christina on July 14, 2011 11:40 am

    I think either orange and blue or pink and green would be great combinations. Thanks for the giveaway!

  76. Donna Rae on July 14, 2011 8:41 pm

  77. juanita on July 15, 2011 7:03 pm

    light brown, light pink and white ;D

  78. MaryAnn Buske on July 17, 2011 6:37 am

  79. Lisa on July 17, 2011 6:30 pm

    I would do it in shades of black and gray with pops of mustard yellow!

  80. Susan M. Nance on July 18, 2011 11:42 am

    This is such a cute handbag for the summer months. I would make this handbag in shades of purple and pink with a touch of yellow. It would look like my flower garden. Would love to win this. Thanks for the chance.
