Many of you have made the Bow Tucks Tote and I have a question. On the first one I made, I quilted a grid patten on the lining and the contrasting bottom of the purse, and then just a few top to bottom lines (following the material) for the main body of the bag. Now I want to make another one and am using a striped material (multiple light colors) for the main fabric and would rather not quilt it. Have any of you made it without quilting the main body fabric and if so, how did it work out? OH, and did you all use the fusible batting that the pattern called for?
Thanks, I really want to get this made before I go to the Lancaster quilt show on Thursday.
