Scrappy Tote

I have continued to have fun playing with the Tula Pink Prince Charming scraps that Cynthia shared with me. Last week I shared a "quilt as you go" slab that I was working on using the larger and longer pieces of those scraps.  This week I finished it up into a tote bag for myself.

I've made several of these already, and I learned to make them from the video tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Company called "Make Three Totes from One Charm Pack."  This time, I decided I didn't need to watch the video over again, and just got started making it on my own after finishing up the scrappy slab for the outside of the tote bag. I measured an earlier tote that I made so that I would have the correct dimensions, although I made this one a little bit deeper.  The lining is a sweet teal pin dot that I picked up at Hobby Lobby.

Having some custom fitted pockets on the inside to hold my phone, keys, and other daily necessities is really handy!  I also really like a magnetic snap to keep it closed.

This tote bag matches the Prince Charming pillow cover I made for the living room a few weeks ago!

And a close-up shot of the quilting on the outside of my bag.  I'm already enjoying using it!

I'll be linking up with Oh Scrap! at Quilting is More Fun than Housework - my favorite Sunday afternoon party!
