Guild Challenge (2018-2019)

These were our instructions:

Channel you inner “BAG LADY”

  1. Must use the equivalent of half the Fat Quarter on the OUTSIDE of your bag.
  2. Be at least 9″ Tall & 10″ Wide.
  3. Have 2 or more complimentary blenders.
  4. Have a Quilted Motif somewhere on your bag, but not just on the bottom.

I purchased the green and gold fabrics to go along with the focus fabric that was included in our packages. It wasn’t easy to find a bag that didn’t use a zipper; I had a book with a pattern that I originally intended to do.

One day when I was waiting in line at the grocery store I glanced through their quilting magazines and came across one that had a couple of things in it that I liked, including this bag. 

My original intent was to have the gold on one side of the front and the green on the other side but somehow that didn’t work out and one colour shows on the front and the other on the back (depending on which way you are looking at it).

As I typed out the “rules” I see that I was to have used a motif on the bag. Does meandering count as a motif?
