I made this bag as a Quilt Market sample for Tim Holtz’s booth out of his new Correspondence collection.  The blues in the collection just begged to be paired with denim!  I created a simple tote with slightly rounded corners. I really like the shape.  I used the plus block and made it pretty small–3″ finished blocks.  There were A LOT of seams and thick ones at that with the denim!

I made a second version too where I arranged the pluses into a medallion.

I added a little hand stitching on this one, to accentuate the print that I also used for the handles. I like that touch!

This collection has just started shipping to stores!
