Border

Add a border to each heart square. I used the same color that I used for the background (color A) of the square.

Make 2 sc in each square along the sides and in each corner square make (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc).  

Assembly

You have two assembly options.

Arrange your squares like the picture shows with the “right sides” facing you. The hearts below the solid black line should be upside down. Use a tapestry needle to sew the squares together.

Fold the bag in half along the black line. Make sure the “right sides” of the squares are facing outward. Next, fold in the sides along the colored (green or pink) lines. Sew the seams together.
