Do I understand this to mean that you created your own fairly thick textured fabric and then used it to make the bag? I just may give this a try because my small scraps are multiplying while I rest.

I'm with Carol, a tutorial would be great to follow as far as how you made your own fabric layers to make the tote?

Thank you for the post.

Very, very cute. Love it and would love to do it - but, I really don't understand it either. I'm assuming once it clicks it is a simple process. Did you make it up?

My quilting friends keep wondering why I obsess over saving their little scraps. "What are you going to do with them?" Well, your technique is the answer! Just preparing 18x20 pieces with the scraps sewn on, that process, opens up a lot of possibilities. I love it =)

EDIT: OH OH I GET IT NOW! Basically, you laid down one 18x20, sprinkled on some scraps, laid on another 18x20, then quilted the sandwich. Afterward, you cut open each little quilt box in an "X" so the scraps show through. Brilliant!!! I'm thinking use thin white for the first layer, then could just make a lining separately when I use the sandwiched piece. These would be great for throw pillows or stuffed animals. Very cool.
