A few days ago I gave you a little peak at what I was making with some fruit & veggie fabrics. {go here to check it out if you would like to} Well, this is what I was making:
I made this tote with scraps from a quilt I haven't finished yet. Has anyone else out there finished a project from the scraps of another project that isn't finished yet?
Would you like to see the quilting close up?
What's that? You want to see the lining? Sure:
Everything I used for this tote was scrap, including the batting. I love using up my scraps :)
Once I was all done, you know, when it it too late to fix a mistake, I noticed this:
I tried so hard to avoid two pieces of the same fabric landing side by side. I took pics of my layout and checked them with every seam I sewed. I'm a bit disgusted with myself, I mean, it shouldn't be that hard to keep just 36 rectangles in the right spot, right?
Oh well, I hope the bag's new owner doesn't mind.
PS - This is the project with the deadline of bright & early tomorrow morning. I made it with a few hours to spare, yay!

I thought it was going to be a table runner. I love the tote bag.
Yes, I have finished a scrap project before the original. I haven't decided if it is a wall hanging or a table runner yet but, it's finished.
I think the bags new owner will love it. And I think its extra satisfying making something all out of scraps :)
