Another QAYG bag finished

This one is for my dear sister-in-law. This was from a free Craftsy pattern called the Good-to-go-messenger bag by Andrie Designs, and the quilting process was from a class by Tara Rebman. I enjoy this technique, but every time I seem to get ideas or regrets after it's too late to change. For the back of this one the plan was for it to be the other way up, but I'd already cut out the corners when I realized I'd reversed it. I'm hoping that will bother nobody but me, but it's annoying anyway. Normally I don't cut out the corner squares but just sew the straight seams to the corner, match them up and sew off the triangular piece. This time I decided to follow the pattern instructions, and found that it's really much easier to get a nicely lined up corner that way. Of course I was focused on the new-to-me method and not paying attention to the fabrics.

Thanks for looking!

Awesome bag, I have been feeling the need to make some bags either just for me or if all goes well I will make some as Christmas gifts. The more I see the more I think I will!
