I cut the fabric 17 1/2" wide be 13" high
I now need to quilt it in crosshatch style.
But...any angle I use to quilt doesn't make the seams match when folded into the tote shape.
This tote is the result of 45 degree crosshatch quilting....starting the quilting, when still flat, in the upper left corner
As you can see....the seam screws up the cross points.
I don't want to make the dimensions any smaller or the tote will be either to short or to tall, or to tight around or to loose. These dimensions make for the best fit around the wine bottles.
The bottom circle is not the issue. I don't have problem with that...just the side seam.
Actually, the dimensions, when complete are 12 3/4" high by 17" around
Make better sense?
