WIP--veggie tote--my progress so far
I recently started volunteering with Meals on Wheels and wanted to make a tote for the volunteer coordinator. I bought 2 charm packs of the "Farmer's Market" fabric from RJR and played with several design options with EQ. Although I love the look of on-point settings, I don't enjoy making them. So I'm working on other ideas for the back of the tote. I haven't decided yet what I'll do for the back, but I do know it won't be another on-point setting. I usually use deco-bond on my totes, but I'm thinking of using insul-bright on this one so it will be washable. I've never worked with insul-bright before. So if anybody has any opinions on this, I'd love to hear them.

That is really gorgeous!
Why insul bright? How about fusible fleece? That's what I use for totes. I guess you could put a pocket on the back side of the tote.
Have you thought about window paning the back side? Same sashing just not on point - be a lot easier. Maybe use this on point one for a front flap similar to a messenger bag.
Whatever you decide, I'm sure the finished bag will be gorgeous and well appreciated!
