Well, toogie, you kind of blew my mind saying that you lined the totes with a "silky, satin fabric". I've never considered lining a tote with anything but cotton but you've given me a new perspective. You've also given me a great project to lighten the load in my cupboard of non-quilting fabrics that have been sitting around for too long. I have far too much satin with no projected use but now I predict some tote bags with lovely forest green satiny lining.
