Tote Bag


I would like to share a photo of a tote bag I made a few months ago.  The block is a curved log cabin that is cut apart and then sewn back together.  I learned the technique in a workshop with Patti Morris. I had made "wonky" log cabin blocks before and done lots of quilting using curved seams.  This is the first time I put them both together.  

I joined the two sides together using an adaptation of Cotton Theory method of joining.  It worked well and gave the bag a finished inside without exposed seams.  It was a bit fiddly in the bottom corners.  But I would do it again.

I have done before.
