Today I took a break from working on the Tribute quilt.
Instead, I made Block # 243, Four Ways.
I decided to use this block to make a tote bag for myself.
I had enough polka dot material for the arrows and the lining.
I added a border in order to fit the size for the messenger bag pattern.
There was enough denim left over for me to make the bag.

Whimsical Quilt Patterns
Wow, you got a lot done! The bag is really cute!
This is the third messenger bag I make using this pattern. I just needed a break from the seemingly unending Tribute quilt.:)
I totally understand! Have you ever made any bags from Crafty Gemini? I really like hers but haven’t tried them yet.
Yes, I have. I made the quilt as you go jelly roll tote after viewing her tutorial.
I made the bag for my sister, and she loved it.
