Tough to decide

what I like best about the little tote I made for my niece's birthday.
There's fresh, bright fabric...
with each side just a little different from the other...
there's a sweet wee ruffle at the top...
there's polka dots and patchwork...
there's lemon yellow stripes on the inside...
and some some lively, pretty floral prints...
I really can't decide what I like best about this tote. Maybe it's that with a little girl's birthday in my family, I had a very good reason to try my first Rosalie Quinlan pattern * (which I received in my recent swap with Janelle...thanks, Janelle!).




*I did make a few changes to the original design, such as making the strips patchwork and attaching them to quilt batt. That's the fun with a great design like this one from Rosalie Quinlan, you can use it as a springboard for ideas and/or follow it to a "T" with beautiful results whichever way you choose.

  1. Love it! Such a sweet girly bag!

    I just finished a Melly&Me bag (Dolcetto) and I’m still working on a Rosalie Quinlan bag (Oma’s project bag).
    Pictures soon... i hope. First I need to watch the finals of the World Cup soccer in South Africa. Holland plays against Urugay. The streets are empty and I guess everybody is watching.

  7. This is so sweet. My granddaughter would feel so cool taking it to school. I will have to see if I have any really bright, fun fabrics and I will copy you idea.
