Rhonda ~ I love your totes! With everyone going green these days, fabric shopping totes are a very timely gift. I'd like to make some as gifts for friends. Did you use a pattern? I'm squinting my eyes to see what you did and it looks to me as if you put the front and back sides of the tote together, wrong sides facing, and serged the edges? I'd like to line mine, as I don't have a serger. I'm curious, too, about your Boston Blocks technique;Is it similar to the square in a Square method of Jody Barrows?

I totally agree with Harmony ! Today is my birthday and Mother's day is coming too .

Rhonda a question about your template . Does it have the degrees marked on it ? I checked your website , this is an interesting technique ! I plan on trying it out , will have to be later on . Annie

By degrees are you talking about the angles? I add a plastic grid but no angles. I have another template I make that I use for my Star Point Block that I add a thin line for an angle.

They look great! Love the colors :thumbup:

No I don't serge mine. I just make the sections like a pillow case and sew them together. This way they have a lining inside.
