Rag Quilt tote in Blue

This is my second rag quilt tote.  I like it much better, however still
want to work on the size ... I think the sides need to be less than two
sqaures, but not just one ... adjustments coming!!!
In the mean time ... this is totally made of flannel with quilt batting to
make it very sturdy and duable.
 

My first Rag Quilt Tote

Above is one side and below the other side of my first rag quilt
tote.  It is a bit larger than I think I want to make them, but I
like it.  Dick did not until it was totally done!

 

 

I used the center cuts from the therapy bags I made to
make these ... you know me - I do not throw anything
away and had so many scraps left.  These end up being
3 1/2" squares.  I think I would just make this 9 in the
front and either smaller squares or just one row for
the bottom and sides.
