FMQ Messenger Bag and Matching Snap Bag
 

Here are a couple more bags I finished yesterday. The outside of the bag is a suede-like fabric with some texture on it; the lining and blocks are quilting cotton. The bags are interlined with Pellon fleece and then quilted.

The first one is a messenger bag with a special padded pocket inside sized to fit an iPad. The second is a matching "snap" bag to hold my cell phone, wallet, etc. I apliqued some OBW blocks on them, then added a bunch of FMQing. The stitching is a nice light teal color, but it doesn't seem to show too well in the pics.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
