If you don't all jump at once I will make anyone who wants one a bag (yikes did I just say that on a public forum?). PM me with any colour preferences/ patterned/ plain - will do my best from my stash but no guarantees. Besides the fabrics in the photos I have in the box in front of me (there's more upstairs! Embarassed

)

Bright pinks and bright colours - rainbow type
reverse of above duvet - blocks of solid colour - pinks/ yellow/ green/ blue
'spring' green with daisy type flowers
khaki colour plain - one bag only
cream with pale green thin stripe and flowers
grey/green with silver squiggles
pale blue plain
white background with blue and green floral
big 'blousy' floral in pink, green and blue
white background with brown/khaki floral

Let me know if you have a preference for longer handles or 'normal' and where to send the bags - I'll do my best!
