Pieced and quilted bag
 

[h=1]Good evening Quilters! When I went to my QOV meeting a couple ladies had these very large bags they had made. Naturally, me being curious, I had to figure out how to make one. lol And of course I had to have one too, to bring all my 'supplies' back and forth.[/h]One of the ladies told me the pattern came with a certain iron on interfacing with grids marked for your 2 1/2 inch sqs, so you HAD to buy the pattern. (She doesn't know us does she, ha ha )
Well, I can mark a grid on interfacing and I googled Mondo Bag to see how to put it together, on You Tube. I also had this pack of charm sqs just waiting for a project, so I cut them into 2 1/2 inch sqs and added a few from yardage, so here is my result.
I quilted my lining using my walking foot. I used everything from my stash, even piecing batting for my lining, as I didn't have fusible fleece. The charm pack was a gift from someone who went on the MSQC bus trip with me.(wasn't that nice?) The lining was fabric that was given some time ago, maybe from my aunt ,when she could no longer quilt. The very bottom ends up being about 11 inches sq so it's humongous! I could probably get my little machine in it! Anyway, I hope you like it and I didn't forget my name! Can you find it?- Well, if you like it and need one, go for it! I know you can do it too!

Pretty bag. Very interesting shape. I like it.

Love love your bag!

Awesome bag! I have several charm packs sitting around. Hmmm....

Great looking bag. I like the colors you picked for it & like your personal embroidered name

I have the pattern for this and have made many. Original pattern comes in 3 sized. I’m not home right now but will be glad to share it. I think it might have been called Schelp bag

That is such a cute bag!

Mucky, please do share the pattern if you find it. I'd love to have it.

I have made this bag but shaped the top differently. I think it is fun how those rectangles create such a roomy bag.

Ooh I do like this.... Thanks for sharing.

Do tell or show, how the top was shaped.

Love your bag

I make a lot of different items, so I put my name whenever I remember, especially my bags.

I would love the pattern for this bag - especially if there is a smaller one.

Great bag. I'd also like to make them.

I believe this is a type of "Mondo" bag. They were the rage with my guild members and are available in many sizes. I did not make one but I see the often at my quilt meetings.

I love it too. beautiful

I just love it. Great job!

Wow, love your bag. Thanks for sharing how you did it.

You are correct, they called it the Mondo Bag. It is humongous and would be great for a lot of things-

What a great bag! :thumbup:

That is a Mondo Bag. They have a middle size called Midi Bag and a very small size called a Bitty Bag. You can find them online. I have made several

I found out the midi bag uses 108 sqs. A grid 3x9 so 27 to each panel-

Google again to the rescue. (Amazon even has kits!) There are quite a few links for the pattern.

Pattern is free!
 

The pattern is free at https://sentimentalstitches.net/2009...torial-part-1/

It is shown with great visuals in 6 parts at their site. They also have a link at the top of the part 1 page where a summarized version of the pattern is available as a downloadable pdf. This, for me, is a definite gotta-do.

Very pretty bag. Love the colors. Great work.

Love the bag and it looks so roomy. Thank you for sharing the information

Great little bag. Congrats on a stylish finish.

Although this Mondo bag is using squares, it's done differently than the schlep bag in your link.Here is the one I made mine like.http://quiltnotes.com/learning-center/make-a-mondo-bag/

nicely done!

I made one with 2 1/2 inch jelly roll strips which came out interesting, another I strip pieced and then cut into 2 1/2 in squares; another I used charm packs. I bought the pattern and didn't use the fuseable interfacing provided. Quilters find a way around everything.

That looks nice and roomy. Well done on using what you had.

I took a class and made mine out of a jelly roll cut into 2 1/2 in. Squares.

Terrific bag!

What a different bag. Nice work.

found several complete instruction including one that is GAYG where no lining needed and reversible on You Tube...can't wait to make many...thanks for showing your bag

Great bag! Great project and so many different choices for arranging the fabric squares.

You're welcome but give us your links- Inquiring minds want to know!:)
