Your version is spectacular. I absolutely love your fabrics. I am also a quilter but I also enjoy making bags and tackled the Weekender bag a year ago or so. Yes, I struggled with the same issues as you and would definitely make the straps longer IF I ever make it again. And I might make it again as I never say never. But I think senility will have to have set in before that happens.

I love all the bags made out of "quilting" fabric that I see out there, including yours, and I have purchased patterns to make one myself, but can't seem to get motivated to do so. Now, I have a perfectly good reason not to...."I am not a bag lady"...thank you for that!!!! At least you can mark this off your list. I love the tulip fabric you used, and your bag turned out beautifully! Love the addition of the selvages. Supernova blocks are awesome too!Rene'https://www.blogger.com/profile/04059560899969549882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-77341176491596552552011-06-29T07:55:09.466-07:002011-06-29T07:55:09.466-07:00Your bag looks fantastic, but I am with you...I...Your bag looks fantastic, but I am with you...I'm a quilter, not a bag lady. :)A Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622172290214055802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-89450110062713967742011-06-29T07:44:58.209-07:002011-06-29T07:44:58.209-07:00those supernova blocks are GREAT! i'm loving t...those supernova blocks are GREAT! i'm loving the use of the grey solids i see in so many blocks now-a-days. grey doesn't have to be drab, especially not in your supernova blocks!Amy E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13340337332566203236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-59239183279757350782011-06-29T07:40:53.362-07:002011-06-29T07:40:53.362-07:00Cindy, the bag looks cool to me, bag lady or not. ...Cindy, the bag looks cool to me, bag lady or not.
