I have been craving to make bags for a long time. Since, I started quilting I haven't made anything other than baby/kids quilts or wall hanging.
I made my first quilted tote bag using this
video by Jenny@
Missour Star Quilt Company. This uses charm packs, great way to use up your charm stash. I tend to buy charm packs a lot because its a great way to collect pieces of all those fabulous fabrics.
I used straight line quilting on the solid and Angela Walters flower design in the charm square. You can see the quilting only on the back, picture#2.

My daughter's favorite color is purple and this is going to be hers. I am making one of me from the same fabric line but different colorway.
Now linking up to Leah Day's FMQ Fridays.
Hey! Lookin' good! Glad you finished it!
