THANK YOU SO MUCH, QUILTER7X!
Sure! The pattern is called Center Stage put out by Pieced Tree Patterns. It's a little laminated card, around 3 1/2" X 5 1/2" with the pattern picture on one side and the directions on the other side. The patterns are simple, mostly table runners. I think they're around $3.50 each. I have several of them and really like them.
The blue, silver and white one is a table topper, around 24-30" square. You could easily make larger half square triangles to enlarge the pattern.

My class went really, really well. I think I'll wait and post a picture after I make the tote handles...last thing to do!
Also, think I might be making friends with my walking foot...finally.
And so much for the fabric diet, bought a yard of great shamrock fabric and two 1/2 yard pieces to coordinate. Might do some strip tube blocks with it.
Have a good one,

Glad to hear your class went well. One tip on doing your handles is not to use a straight stitch to sew them together because the stitching can easily break. Use a 3 step zig zag or a stretch stitch to sew from one end of the handle to the other.

Thanks again for the kind remarks,

Nice to see you are sewing up totes - can't have too many, lol.
I just donated three purses to the Talent Auction at our church.
A fun project that you start with the purchased single metal frame and handles.Then make a simple purse (cover) that slides onto the rods and voila! you have a purse. Easy then to make several in different styles and colors.
