That's a great idea to have it quilted first! I may have to do that on my next one, which, coincidentally, is, like yours, going to be a diaper bag for my step-daughter. I'm so excited to go choose the fabrics!

None of the jackets in our house have cord locks as I cut them all off to use on my totes. Then I got the idea of elastic.
I felt the same way about the options out there for cord locks - - all I could ever find were black or white....blah!

I also used Soft & Stable on the outside pieces for stability and shape. great job!

That's a good idea to change out the inner pockets too. Hope you don't mine if I use it. The next one I make is going to be a diaper bag and I think I'll use that pocket style for that one. New new mom is ever going to want to mess with the flap on that pleated pocket! LOL

Lovely tote! You did a wonderful job! I have the pattern, but have yet to tackle it . . . someday I hope to make one!
I had my pattern for a while before I got brave and made it.....and now I've made 3 of them with one more to start coming up in the next week or so.
