Bag using Tink's wonderful tutorial
First off, thank you Tink, for posting that very clear tutorial! Ever since I saw the first bag you posted I wanted to make one. I get to go to a quilting retreat in November in Oregon and I feel this is definitely retreat "worthy". I quilted this with ginkgo vine because the batik strip and the top part have that vine in it. I'm really happy with how this bag turned out. It has soft and stable (I think that's the name of it) which makes it stand up and I put a stiff bottom in an envelope of fabric as I wanted the bottom to be a bit stiff, too.
