Oh Yes I Di-id!

(Sorry, that's just me trying to be 'hood.)

Never mind.  From this ...

to this ...

to THIS!  Eeeeeeeeeep!!!

My head nearly exploded when the idea hit me.  This bag just HAD to be born!

I put flowers on both sides so it can never be worn "backwards". 

I love using a contrast fabric for binding on the inside - sort of a designer touch, don't you think?

And I am my mother's daughter so I had to use a practical, dark fabric for the bottom.

The only thing I forgot in my excitement was to make a pocket or two for the inside.  Yes, I could add them now by hand ... but I know I won't.

Both are pretty, but I would totally choose the bright, flowery one! It just makes me happy to look at it. Plus it's spring (almost summer). That just puts me in a bright, happy mood.

Oh no you did-ent :)
that is C... U.... T.... E !!!
I know which one I like better, but you know what - that doesn't matter, because I know you'll wear either with great pride, as you should! You are a star and I hope you have a fantastic experience - this is your time!!!

Oh my gosh, SO cute! You are a genius. I need one of those!

[Jennifer W]

They are both neat but...I am definitely drawn to the bright floral. That is a very creative way to make the quilt. I'm sure Camille will be thankful for the advertising!

[Carole Y.]

I loooooove the quilt to bag one. You are a genius!!

[Jennie]

Holy incredible! Looks amazing and the bright colors...wow-weeee!

Since you will be at Market more than one day you should trade each day...probably a pain in the rumpasaurus though :)

So creative...have a blast..I need to figure out how I am going to sneak into Market in Houston this year...

Definitely Flower Sugar!!

I would say that they are both lovely- but I would take the calm japanese print calming one. I love the Sachiko style quilting on it. Beautiful.

[Judy Blinkenberg]

Love them both, but honestly I would make the second. So many fabrics to choose from for this bag. PLEASE, Would you offer or sell this pattern? Or if it's out where I can get it. Thank you.

[Dana]

How can I possibly choose between them??? Both bags are beautiful. I wonder which one your BFF will like better? I guess you should let her choose, but I am betting that you end up tossing the coin. Have fun!!

So cute! The lining is just as pretty! I hope you stuff it with lots of fabrics...oh wait are you on a fabric diet when you go to market too? I say kick your diet to the curb for a few days!

That bag is just AWESOME! I'm a bright color kind of gal, so I prefer the latter one. Great work, girl!
