I got the borders on, but skipped starting to quilt it. Not sure what I want to do with that yet. And I had forgotten that I promised my oldest daughter that I would make a messenger bag for her. She comes home this coming weekend for a long weekend from college - so I decided I had best work on that! I still need to topstitch the flap and front top of the bag, and then put the shoulder strap on - but it is looking ok. I was kind of scared to attempt this one, but it was actually fairly fast.
I modified parts of the
bag pattern on All People Quilt to make it.

I love your little quilt. The border was a perfect choice as it still lets the red in the middle pop.
Holly is going to love her bag! Glad she is going to be able to come home and spend a few days with you.
Both are wonderful!

I LOVE the messenger bag! That paisley fabric is gorgeous!!! Your daughter's choice...or just your *educated* guess?
Goodness, both are beautiful. The little four-patch colors are very nice and the bag looks like fun for the maker and the reciever!
Love the quilt, Dawn!
Cute bag. Your DD is going to love it.
The 4 patches are just as darling as can be . . . but that bag! Now I am not usually one to fall for a bag, but this style is right up my alley. I guess we'll have to make another mark in the Libby copies Dawn column *s*
Wow, Dawn, you're on a roll. The bag is great, and I LOVE that little four-patch!
That bag is great -- and nope, they're not that hard to do at all :0). As I said before -- love that four patch!
Love the bag! Looks like the perfect size and so fun to use. She will love it.
Now how did I miss coming here to check on your progress? Bad Judy! The Lori Smith is wonderful and the bag is fantastic. Just what a college student carries! great job Dawn!
The 4patch quilt is lovely. I like how the colours are well balanced and how the yellow border brings everything together.
The messenger bag is great. I like the colour combination and I thank you for the link. Take care.
You daughter is going to love that bag, love the lining!
The 4 patch turned out wonderful. I love those simple quilts, the colours are great.
Love the bag and the quilt. Both are lovely.
The borders just pull that quilt together so well, I just love it.
