I couldn't find any suitable patterns that looked like real carpet bags, so mine is a tote bag made using sumptuous furnishing fabrics. It's big enough to hold folders and books for my classes, with extra long handles to sling over my shoulder. The inside has 3 pockets (large, medium and cellphone) plus an elasticized band to hold my drink bottle upright.
This week, I've focused on assembling this quilt top - I made all the blocks several years ago. Unusually for me, I purchased ALL the fabric rather than including my hand dyes in it, as I found fabrics that worked well with the feature fabric, which is Hoffmanns "Feathers" - you can see it more clearly in the detail shot. It's the centre of the blocks and also the outer border.

Love the bag, super fabrics, and the quilt, well of course I think it is gorgeous, fabulous design, and my favourite colours. Enjoy the days before term starts again. Cheers from Jean p.s. I need new glasses, as I had to resort to a magnifying glass to read the numbers!!!Maybe I am a sort of a robot...
Your quilt looks terrific. Lovely cooling colours for a hot sunny day (when we get one...lol).
Love the quilt, great colours that work well together. As Sharon said, cooling colours which is what is needed this time of year.
Shirley, I just love your quilt..........the fabric choice, pattern and colours blend beautifully. I would be pleased to have it on my bed! Best Wishes for your studies in 2013.
