I made these quilts for identical twin boys born in May. Made matching totes for them to carry their quilts when they stay with grandma or to daycare. Mom was really happy with the totes.

Pattern from a book called P.S. I Love You Baby Collection by Lynda Milligan and Nancy Smith. The pattern is Lollipops and Lemondrops.

Tote bags I made with scraps, no pattern therefore the reason they aren't both the same size.

Really like your baby boy quilts and the totes. I am making one for a baby boy to be born in Sept. I just might make a tote to go with it. Good idea.

Beautiful quilts and totes! That's a great idea, that they have something to put them in and don't drag them! They are too nice!

How totally adorable! I love the striped borders, and it sets off the blocks really nice. The totes are a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

You are a striped fabric fan too. It does so much to make a simple quilt look complicated. Your quilts look great. Love the stripes on the bags too

Actually this is the first time I used stripes. That was the way it was shown in the pattern. Notice I ran them so that I didn't have to worry about them being cut perfectly straight. Since I am anal about a lot of things, not having them cut/sewn exactly right would drive me nuts. Same reason I don't use any type of checks.

Very nice! I'm sure that Mom will appreciate those totes, too! Great job!
