Another bag

I am absolutely crazy about this bag pattern. I’m not sure why, exactly, but it really is nice that it opens up into a flat “tray” for handy access. That’s really nice when I need to just toss some things to the side for easy use later. This is the third one I’ve made, though one was a gift. The first two were the medium size, but this one is a bit larger so I can use it either for more “stuff” or for larger items.

I’d originally thought I’d use the Eiffel Tower fabric on the outside, but a friend pointed out that it would get dirty, so I switched to the purple. Both of these fabrics were scraps from my stash, but the darker purple end pieces and grab tabs were purchased after I cut the wrong size out of another stash fabric.

I’ve made a certain number of bags, and I usually just do a lot of straight lines to quilt the layers of fabric and Soft and Stable together, but this time I decided to have fun with some feathers instead.
