Bag made from a Quilt
#11
my LQS had this pattern a while back.... they were giving away the directions if you bought the material. I didn't need the material as I wanted to use my stash, but I looked at the bag they had and kinda made my own from memory.
I sewed strips together and quilted it so it actually came out a little smaller than I wanted (duh, forgot to allow for shrinkage due to quilting - LOL). I gave it to my granddaughter for last Christmas.... she loves it!

Great bag! It's very similar, if not the same bag. The one she had was larger. I suppose it all depends on the size quilt you use. I've been looking for a simple bag to carry actual quilts in--even large ones--when I go to my guild meetings. It's not all that important, but it might be classier than a plastic bag from Joann's.
As I told BellaBoo in my PM to her, I'm always amazed at the ingenuity and generosity of people on this board.

The one I know how to make is called an Origami Purse - same concept I guess. Use a square or rectangle double sided quilt or quilted one you make yourself and turn like a diamond, fold bottom up, sew down each side, flip corners over the center, fold flaps down in front and back and add straps! You can make them any size.

I think both patterns are put together the same way. The purse may have used firmer batting. The bag uses cotton batting and has drawstrings added to form the bag. I'm making lots of the bags to sell at our guild table at a quilt show. My DD took the one I made her to work and said the girls there all wanted to buy one. If they want one they'll have to come to the quilt show.
