You got further than I did...Karen,<BR/>Congratulations! You got further than I did today. I did get my purse cut out and then I quit and started working on my quilt top. I am using pre-quitlted fabric and decided I wanted to add a border trim to the top from the fabric. After cutting it, I then didn't know which side I wanted to use since both were so pretty.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the pockets, do you alter that part of the pattern at all. I'm not sure how to finish mine off since it is already pre-quilted. Any suggestions?<BR/><BR/>I like your idea of the straps since that too was an undecided part of mine since the quiltd fabric is too thick. Think I'll unquilt it and use the fabric on webbing.<BR/><BR/>Back to my quilt top while I think of what my next step will be on the purse.imerbesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963363123816101463noreply@blogger.com
