Big Shot Scallop Square Quilted Bags

MAD Challenge - Day 21!

Today's Making A Difference Challenge involves a recently acquired addiction of mine.  :)

I have been thoroughly enjoying making these darling little tote bags w/ the big shot!  I have seen them everywhere, and although I am NOT a sewer, I found these totally easy to make.... as you can see!  I started my first on on Friday and well, today is Sunday and I have not one, but 4 bags completed!  PSYCHO, I know!

Let me start off with the first one I made for myself.

The wonderful thing about making them is that they are so forgiving!  I didn't sew many straight lines, but it didn't matter!  They turn out great!

I used 3 different prints, and the inside is the same print as the handle.  I finished it off with one of our clear buttons for the closure.

Ok I know you are probably wondering... Deann, I thought you were challenging yourself to give things away and you said you made this bag for you! 

Well, I also said I made 3 more.... and this weekend my husband and I are going to a Casting Crowns concert with our dear friends Brian and Debbie.  She was totally shocked when I told her I was making these bags (as she knows I NEVER sew!) so, I am letting her choose one of the following bags this weekend.  Which one do you think she will choose?????

How fun will this be to give her a cute bag.... just for no reason!  Go beyond the ordinary and really do something special for one of your friends.  I can't wait to see her face!
