Interesting purse/bag! Please don't ever be embarrassed to show off things you've made! Whether it's quilting related or not! I made two aprons the other day. Of course I showed it off. Not a lot of comments, but I don't care. I'm proud of them, rather proud of one of them. I really should have paid attention when I was cutting the fabric. Just doubled the fabric and cut away. Never thinking that one of them would come out up-side-down! Silly me! There were girl scout words that clearly should have been right side up on each apron. So, I gave the one that was cut/made correctly to a wonderful woman. The up side down one, I kept. So, whenever we use it, we think "Silly mommy!"
I would like to see pics of your quilts, if you're willing to post them.
