the bags and totes in this book are all quilted! So, if you like quilting like I do, you'll love this book. There is a purse for every activity in my life! a bag for work, play, gym, school,quilting, etc.! I can't wait to make all of the bags...and there are a lot! I am glad the instructions are easy to read and understand! I got a sneak peak at the finished projects for the book at Quilt Market in Minneapolis and I was very impressed with Denise's talent and ability to make me feel like I could accomplish making these bags! Thanks, Denise!
