After I gave my sister the book shelf tote bag for Christmas my mom mentioned wanting a tote bag of her own for her birthday. I wanted to try out a new pattern though so I started looking through Pinterest and came across this scrappy quilted tote pattern from A Bright Corner. The pattern is a variation of Jedi Craft Girl’s quilted tote bag tutorial but with a patchwork panel instead of one large piece. Jedi Craft Girl’s zipper pouch tutorial is my favorite, so I was excited to try another one of her projects.

This tote bag is fantastic for using scraps but the finished piece is a really nice size. The squares are 2.5″ so I was able to make almost the whole thing from my scrap bin.

I think making tote bags might be my new addiction…
