Kwik Super Star Tote

The Kwik Super Star Tote by Karie Jewell of Two Kwik Quilters includes sewing instructions that use a variety of fun techniques to make this roomy tote, including instructions for foundation paper piecing (star). The star, bottom of the tote, and the pocket are easily competed with fabric from your scrap bins or your stash since such a small amount of fabric is needed. The main body of the tote (excluding the star) is made from a stack & slash technique; you will end up creating a scrappy background using 10in squares of 10 different fabrics. If you don't want a scrappy look, just 1 fabric works too! Use the recommended additional items to achieve the effect of a stand-up alone bag. Finished size: 17" H x 14" W x 6" D.
