You may have just converted me to the quilted bag world. I generally don't care for them, but this one is really calling me. You did a wonderful job on it.

but I got it working. It looks sooo cute! Have a feeling there will be some nice purses for Christmas presents this year

Great job on your purse, and the fabric is nice as well.

This is a wonderful looking purse, and I really like the insides. It will give me a chance to try out a pattern without a ten dollar investment first. Then I may take a look at the book mentioned by Amy Butler.

The trouble you had, was that with the layers? It seems that is where I end up having problems when you have home décor fabric layered with stabilizers.
