I love your tote - the fabric is great!
I have lots of totes in lots of different fabrics and sizes to fit my mood and needs - elegant, crazy, frivolous, and those that speak to my "inner child".
I love the idea of using trial blocks to make totes. I will definitely adopt that one.
One can never have too many totes!
And they are fun to give! I was at the store the other day and a sweet lady just raved about the totes I had for my groceries. I had an extra one and turned around and gave it to her and then left. Those can be the best gifts!
