Patchwork tote

A new patchwork tote for myself! Don't remember when was the last time I make a tote. During the school weeks I have about 4 bags to carry with. Almost like a mom with an infant and her personal belongs. It has been an issue for myself and I knew in mind that a bigger tote is needed for things that I carry!f Unfortunately I never took the action up till this week.   

I used my scraps fabrics for the entire project. My Suzuko Koseki fabric that I kept in large scale in the intention of the {sewing prints}. The sewing method I used was from this tutorial  and I highly recommend it! I haven't never use this tutorial for making a quilt, but for the project that I have done here is perfect! I love all the detail quilting lines in different directions and it helped to make it {patchy. work} look.

{Thanks} my little helper, S. She took the photos for me. As you can tell it is a big scale tote. Inside I have a 3" inches binders and two books already, but it looks like still lots room for {stuff}. On this side of the tote I made small patchwork then combined the small patchwork blocks together. It really created a nice look!

On this side of the bag, I used large fabric prints created on patchwork look. I spoiled myself with my favorite fabrics. With the handles that I simply cut a 5" strips and quilted the straight lines. It is great to have a new tote for a new semester!

I really like the patch {log.cabin} look. Won't it be great to make a quilt in the similar method and fabric choices?
