Brandyvine Tote Bag

 I started a new project over the weekend.  I'm making a Brandyvine Tote Bag from a book by Vicki Bellino called Bloom Creek Quilts. 


If you make this tote bag, you will want to use a scant 1/4" when sewing the 10 strips together.  The directions don't say to do this but it should have.  The strip sets came out 1/2" too short width-wise.  

I made one addition to the pattern because I wanted a sturdier bag that would stand up and not flop over.  After step 7, I quilted the outside pieces to Soft-n-Stable foam stabilizer.  After that I continued on to step 8.

More coming soon...
