Awesome, cute, adorable, pretty and the list goes on. I absolutely love it! It is beyond my skills. I think I would get dizzy weaving it together--what am I saying, I am dizzy all the time. lol

When you say it's large .... how large?

It looks like it'd make a great shopping purse/bag!

Thank you for all your wonderful comments.

The dimensions of the tote are: 12"-Height, 14" Wide, 8"-Depth

If using for shopping, I would suggest more substantial handles. I made mine according to the pattern. They are strips with 1/4" cotton cording in them. Each handle is three strips braided together.

I'm really interested to see some more of these posted here on the quilting board.
Have fun!

Thanks for the tips!
Though, I think it is one pattern that you'd definitely need the pattern!!

Your weaving strips .... are they strips sewn and turned? Or do you have a batting inside of them?
