I’m taking a stab at the holder and would like to know the dimensions of it as I’m a little concerned of my overall gauge. Does the holder hold it’s shape or is it shaped per the number/quantity of bags? Did you block your’s or is it as is?
Thanks so much for all the info & patterns! Your newsletters and blog are a go to, thanks again!

I did not block mine (only block for blankets usually). The measurements listed are the size it is in 🙂
