There were only three of us in the end, fewer than expected, but very congenial.
We laughed alot and solved all the problems of the world.
Here are the bags:
This is a shot of my original bag on the left, with my new bag on the right. Since I had fewer than needed five inch square blocks for the second bag, I used some yardage for the sides and bottom. I love the fabric from this series and I have some more yardage to make up a couple of kid quilts sometime.
This is a shot of our photographer's bag. She loves block and white and this bag is very chic.
Our other participant went for bright, hand-dyed style fabrics. I love it, especially the red she used for the straps and lining.
We all need to construct hard inserts for our bags because they look so much better swith a stiff butt.
Next time I think we are going to do a lap quilt designed by someone who works with Sunflower Quilts. Its a lovely little quilt with ruffles down the front. Check it out at the Moda Bakeshop.
I wonder what fabric I will use?

Those bags are super cute - love them! Did you use any sort of interfacing or batting/fleece in them?
We used one layer of fusible fleece attached to the exterior fabric. Would you like a copy of the pattern once we get it scanned into an electronic format?

I'd love a copy - thanks!
