I have been making some back packs that I learned about on the Fons and Porter QNN site. I am using one of them when I walk to the grocery store with the dog so I have may hands free. I am in a block swap on another website and have a lot of 6 1/2" blocks to play with. These backpacks go together very fast and are comfortable and big enough to carry the equivalent of several plastic grocery bags and can be washed and dried if ever they need it. I also use them for overnight bag insteade of a suitcase when I go away for a week.

opening. I am now putting inside pockets and outside pockets on the ones I am making now.
