Nice to see you on the thread
I recently bought those larger ones as well
and I must admit I had not given any thought
to the bag size for these to fit in

any ideas out there ?

Morning all

I Used a bag that I got from flower hour, they were supposed to go inside some little boxes so are not gusseted at the bottom and it worked well. You could always just use normal cellophane as I have done this aswell and it looked great.

Here is mine all wrapped up


Not sure if these are the same cases but I am guessing they may be? If so I will get one out later on an measure it for you

Thanks Chazzy, a couple of the girls asked for instructions on how to use 2 colours. I did a tutorial which is on the first post of this thread. However most tend to stick to one flannel rather than 2 yet my single flannels look rubbish and my double ones are quite lovely (if I do say so myself lol)

well i thought i would use the larger cases as peeps on here said they were better for two flannels and socks but can't find them on e bay?? only 5cm ones...can anyone help please...and i noticed some pics of pretty pastel coloured cases, are they off e bay also...sorry for all the questions

rosekitten, that quilt is absolutely beautiful, well done!

more questions...sorry...have looked on flower hour and there are some bags 3 x 5 x 7 do you think these will be big enough?? Thanks x

The bags I used came with these boxes.

(i didn't buy 100 though lol) doesn't mention what size the bags are and I can't find mine, think OH has moved them. If you email them they may be able to tell you the size?
