Tote Bag Finished

Interestingly enough this pattern was called Love to Quilt Tote Bag. It was designed by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts , featured in the Feburary issue of American Patchwork and Quilting(one of my favorite magazines). I made a few changes...quilter's perogative but stayed mostly with the pattern. It will make a great project carrier to Quilt guild meetings. I'm a little concerned that the panel I used for the applique is too light. Too much of a contrast so I may consider doing some light tea dying. I've done that before on projects that I wanted to give an 'aged' look.  I'll post another picture if I decide to do that.
