I did quilt the one pictured but the thread blends in so well that it's hard to see. I WILL continue to quilt the outside main fabric because I like the look better and think that it makes the whole purse more stable and also hand made.
Tonight another lady saw this one and immediately wanted one. She said that she'd pay me for it. So I nonchalantly asked her what she expected to pay and she said, "Oh, I don't know, its $15 enough?" (Hummmm... think I'll wait on making THAT one. $15 barely pays for the fabric and fleece.)
You did a great job and I like the colors. I sold a few of these and here I can get easily 45$, the iron-on fleece is quite expensive over here in Quebec and so is the fabric, therefore I don't let them go at a cheaper price. I also sew the pocket with the bottom piece but I have no problem to sew it together, I use a jeans needle and it works fine but I suppose the lining and the inside pockets don't need the iron-on fleece.
