    Default I made a tote bag!

    I started this last night and finished it today. It didn't turn out too bad.


    This is the link for the instructions if anyone is interested... http://www.quiltsville.com/Tinytote.html
    The instructions are for a "Tiny Tote", but I just did the same thing only bigger.

    Sorry about the fuzzy pic.
    The outer edge is a scenic print fabric with fishermen and wildlife. The back side is the exact same block.

    Great job. Handbags are easy aren't they. Take a look on ebay they sell pretty well too, depending on the prints you use.
