Zippered Boxy Bag--My Quilt Guild Challenge Done!
 

This month my modern quilt guild had a challenge to make a small zippered boxy bag. We drew sealed envelopes with two paint chips and another drawing had colored zippers--we had no control on what we got. My paint chips of pastel pink and gold were NOT my favorite colors, and the coral pink zipper I drew really turned me off. But I did find a stripe fabric and a gold floral in my stash that seemed to match the chips pretty well, so here it is. It actually came out better than I thought it would. If you want to make the bag, the free tutorial is at http://kelbysews.blogspot.com, and it is called the boxy bag tutorial.

That is so pretty, bright and colorful. Well done. I should make one for my husband with a plastic liner.

Very pretty boxy bag.

I really really like that! What a great job and the colors are so cheerful.

You sure did a good job using those chip colors! Love the fabrics you used....the whole thing was serendipitous!! Will definitely put that tute in my PURSES etc folder to do!:)

Love it, and thanks for sharing the tutorial also. Not sure if I will ever be brave enough to make it, but always good to have a tutorial if I do decide to really challenge myself. LOL

I love it! The fabrics you used are great. You certainly met the challenge.

very nice job!!!

You should be proud. I think it is lovely ... and I would buy if I saw it in a store. Great job.

For not liking the colors you sure made them work! Very nice box.
I made one similar but not as nice to house some of my sewing stuff next to my machine.
