Eight Hours Later

It took me a full day of stitching (interspersed by puppy care, walking, attention, and meals, stretching, trips to the loo etc.) to sew the hidden quilt backing fabric to my canvas bag foundation. Since this is a slow stitch project that's fine -- I wasn't in any particular hurry.

For the quilting I followed the original maker's stitch lines, but the part that took the longest to sew was the fragile ragged edge side. That was pretty delicate work.

I managed to get the little original boro patchwork right in the center of one side, so that looks cool. I know, I'm weird. But wait for it, because it's turning out even better than it was in my head and I think the finished bag going to be very neat.
