Remember this pattern? I bought it for a nappy/diaper bag for Hollie.

The last few days I've been working on getting it finished. I quite like Quilts Illustrated patterns, they are simple and easy to follow. I did make a few changes, to give a better finish.

Lots of roomy pockets, both inside and out.

A nice wooden toggle button.

And a clip to hang keys or phone from. I see I need to trim a few more threads.
And finally a wet pack for those wipes.

So that's another thing I can mark off the list.

Haven't you been the busy grandma-to-be! Pretty soft colors. I like pattern reviews. Good to know it's a good one.
Very nice bag, I love the colors! Renata.
Nicely done....Isn't that pattern just the best. Am wondering what difference you made...It sure looks different from my Orange one...
Great bag! I think that would be a wonderful diaper bag for any mom. I love the fabrics that you chose.
wow Linda that is a lovely bag and beautiful fabrics you have chosen,
cheers Vickie
That is so nice .
Absolutely stunning, Linda! I'm sure any new mother would feel so proud to have such a treasure to carry around with them, and to know that your own mum/mum-in-law had made it would make it extra special!
When I had my children, It was always lovely to be surrounded by bright and cheerful colours and pretty items, it kind of helps you feel a bit more "with it" when all you want to do is fall back into the Land of Nod! he he he..
Your work is so beautiful. I love the fabrics you choose, and you quilt to perfection!
Warm wishes! Vikki x
The bag is gorgeous! I love the "extras". Extras always seem to make the bag a truly usable bag.
What a terrific bag - The colors are so pretty. How fortunate the new mama will be to have that!
Linda, great bag and this is something I haven't done yet. She has a diaper bag, but I was going to make one with her name on it and we just found out what her name will be the day she was born. Thanks for sharing.
Keep Stitchen'

Great bag for a mom! Lots of pockets and space!
Linda, mom is going to love this bag - such bright and pretty colors - who would know its a diaper bag!
Cheers!
I have that pattern too and haven't made it yet. Yours gives me some more ideas. Very cute.
What a great bag...and all those wonderful pockets! It will be a bag that's definitely well-loved!
Great bag. Love the fabrics and the little touches.
Fabulous bag Linda, love the colours.
Warm hugs Lizzie :o)
What a fabulous nappy bag, love it! Pockets are definately needed in a nappy bag *grin*.
Out of curiosity, what did you line the wet wipes pocket with?
great bag, delightful colours too! I love all the pockets...
This is a wonderful looking bag!!
Practical and pretty - another great finish Linda!
The colours you chose for the diaper bag are perfect. That wooden button is wonderful.
God bless.
Wow - you did a beautiful job on the bag, Linda! Such pretty colours too!
What a wonderful bag! I too like Quilts Illustrated patterns. They go together easily and quickly. Cute!
