Okay, so I don't have great instructions for this bag, because I started to make it before I knew I was going to do this blog, but I still wanted to share it. A lady in my ward holds a quilting class in her garage on Wednesday mornings. We do a lot of charity quilting, but recently she's been teaching me how to do other things too. You pick out a 12"x12" quilt block for the middle and sew a 5" border around that. The block I chose represents the pioneer wagon wheels. This woman also has a long-arm quilting machine that she has so kindly let me use..what a treat! I got to pick out my quilt pattern and quilt the sides before I constructed the bag. We also made a lining for the inside (about 1 yd of fabric) so we didn't have raw edges, and we could add pockets. We also added quilted handles. I use it for my church bag, and I love it! The fabric I used was Martinique by 3 Sisters for Moda.
