Gift Duffle Bags
I got this stunning home dec fabric at a thrift shop (6 yards, a buck a yard).
[ATTACH=CONFIG]608047[/ATTACH]
I wanted to make gift bags for friends and family for Christmas & wanted to use the entire vertical cut of the print, but it was too big (over 20 inches) so i eventually opted to just use the bloom portion & make duffles. I needed to make 7 but didn't have enough fabric. I had another piece of fabric in my thrift store stash that matched the colors pretty well, so used that for the handles & sides. I constructed the top, installed the zipper, added the sides then slid pieces of batting in, then put the whole thing on the long arm.

Here's a pic of the back after quilting.

Here they all are, the first 3 needed for Christmas day, and the last 4 not needed until last weekend for a very belated holiday celebration. The finished size was about 20" wide, 12.5" high and about 8" deep.

Those are beautiful. What pattern did you use for your duffel bags & did you line them inside? I want to make a duffel for a graduation gift & have yet to find a pattern that I like or that is not too complicated for me. I like the shape & size of your bags.
