Quilt Me A Bag
Quilt Me A Bag – Round Up
Well hello! Today is the official end of the Quilt Me A Bag blog series and what better way to end this amazing series than with a fantastic giveaway! Yes, I have one more giveaway for you (!!!) but first let’s revisit the blog posts that have brought us to today, and take a look at all those stunning quilted bags Crystal has been making over the past 5 weeks…
Oh me, oh my… *sigh*…
How AH-mazing do they all look?!?
Post 1: Quilt Me A Bag Series
We couldn’t start the series without a post introducing our fantastic series partner, the one and only Alison Glass –
As well as our AH-mazing quilter-bag maker extraordinaire, Crystal Harrison!

Post 2: Quilt Me A Bag β Roll With It Tote
First up in the series was the Roll With It Tote, where Crystal used the ‘Quilt As You Go’ method to create the beautiful outer pocket panels you can see in the photo above.
You can find the Quilt Me A Bag – Roll With It Tote blog post here and the pattern here.
Post 3: Quilt Me A Bag β Cleo Everyday Wallet
Next in the series was the Cleo Everyday Wallet, where Crystal used simple strip piecing to create the lovely rainbow effect you can see.
You can find the Quilt Me A Bag – Cleo Everyday Wallet blog post here and the pattern here.
Post 4: Quilt Me A Bag β Stand Up & Tote Notice
The next bag in the series was the ever-popular Stand Up & Tote Notice tote bag pattern. For this stunner, Crystal used a Dresden ruler to create the outer pockets and the handles, as well as some simple (yet oh-so-effective) top stitching on the remaining outer panels.
You can find the Quilt Me A Bag – Stand Up & Tote Notice blog post here and the pattern here.
Post 5: Quilt Me A Bag β Carry All Flexi Clutch
Following the Stand Up Tote, we reduced things down a little and looked at the Carry All Flexi Clutch, where Crystal had fun creating paper pieced flying geese! How great do they look?!
You can find the Quilt Me A Bag – Carry All Flexi Clutch blog post here and the pattern here.
Post 6: Quilt Me A Bag β Creativeβs Tote β Part 1 and Quilt Me A Bag β Creativeβs Tote β Part 2
Finally, we ended the series with a beautifully constructed, quilty masterpiece that is the Creative’s Tote! Crystal had so much fun playing around with paper piecing, free motion quilting, and half square triangles that we ended up having to split this post over two days!

The bags are all so beautiful but I think the Roll and Tote is my favorite.
I love the roll and tote but they are all gorgeous!
I fell in love with handmade quilted bags some time ago and they are trying to takeover my wardrobe and evict all my shoes. Well, you can do more with a lovely handmade bag than you can with shoes so I think that is the way I am going from now on. Keep up the patterns – I will try almost anything!
Stand up tote
I love the Stand up and Tote Notice!
Creative’s tote
They are all fantastic, but the Roll with it Tote is amazing and first up on my list to try! β€οΈ
CONGRATULATIONS KAREN!!! You have won the final giveaway prize for this blog series! Please check your inbox for an email from Andrie Designs! π
I love the roll with it tote. The cost are bright and Happy!
This would be a great giveaway to win!! My favorite (hard to choose) would have to be the Creatives Tote. I hope it’s coming out soon because I cannot wait to make it!!
The Cleo everyday wallet! I’m also looking for something small enough to carry when I go out to eat with my husband! Thanks for the giveaway!
Creative tote!!!! β‘β‘β‘
The Roll up Tote. ?
I like the Creative tote and just yesterday a refugee lady from Somalia who I am teaching to sew asked me to teach her how to make a big bag for shopping. I think this will be my choice!
Roll with it tote
The Creatives Tote with all those glorious colours. Spectacular!!
They are all so beautiful but I would have to say that the Creative’s Tote is my favourite!!!
Gorgeous bags! Love the colours!
I like Stand Up and Tote Notice
I like the roll with it tote
I love the look of the Cleo Wallet and the rainbow effect!
The roll with it tote is my favourite but they are all amazing!
Creative tote
It is like…bag making and
Quilting is not and eithet/or…. fun! I like the Roll with it best..xause I don’t have that pattern, and I like the curve, but I also like the Flexie clutch… cause it seems really practical…
Excuse those phone typos!
The Carry All Flexi Clutch is my favorite. I love the flying geese pattern.
The creative tote draws my attention with all the detail and colours but then I love the roll with it the simplicity of just the pop of colour with the dark background is my favourite and something I’d try myself being a newbie to quilting ?
They are all so lovely!! But I think my favorite it the Roll with it Tote.
I absolutely love the Roll With It Tote! They’re all beautiful work, but something about that one just speaks to me! ???
-Kelley Paz
The creatives tote would be amazing! Plus I know the perfect person to gift it too!!!
Roll with it tore is my favourite, but they are all beautiful. Wish I live closer to be able to visit your store your bags are so beautifully designed. Have enjoyed your posts and I am very interested in making one of your designs .
I have to say my favorite is the Creative bag as it seems to be just perfect!
I love all the bags and love the ideas and can’t wait till I get time to try some of these myself! Thanks to everyone involved with this for all the wonderful projects and ideas and gifts! I love all the bags but I think my favorite is the creatives torte, I think I will do
That one first for myself!
Jenny in Florida
Every bag is unique in it’s own special way but the Roll With It tote would probably be my favourite, I love the idea of quilt as you go
I’m in love with the Cleo Everyday Wallet. There is nothing everyday about it. No need to wear a fancy dress when you have one Crystal’s Cleos in your hand, it’s all that anyone would look at.
So sweet Stacey!!! Thank YOU ?
I would have to say the paper pieced Carry All Flexi Clutch
They are all fantastic but I think if i had a choice, I’d make the Creative’s Tote first.
Ooh I Love Crystal and ALL of her quilty creations!! I especially Love the Creative’s Tote.. I cannot wait for that pattern.. I Love her use of color, and Epic Paper Piecing skills!!
Thanks so much Madge!!!! β€οΈ
Roll with it tote is my favourite, love making bags & now there’s more to do. Great support from wonderful sponsors.
It’s so hard to pick just one, so perhaps if Crystal just sends them all to me, I can easier make my mind up which I prefer…..after I’ve used them all to death!!!! Seriously though, I’m at a loss to pick just one, but if I have to narrow it down, to just one of five num nums (!) I’ll pick the Carry All Flexi Clutch. Thank you for a wonderful series and your wonderful sponsors of the giveaways, especially Voodoo Rabbit Fabric (Hmmm I wonder why lol)
Hugs
Naomi
Lol! Naomi you are a hoot!!! You’ve just made my day! Thank YOU βΊοΈ
I love them all. But I do love the Cleo wallet. Thank you all for this wonderful series of beautiful bags and wallet. I cannot wait have a go at making the Cleo in patchwork fabrics. Xoxo
They are all gorgeous but the Roll with it Tote is my absolute favourite! I can’t wait to try these. Thanks
I must say all the bags were gorgeous but my favourite is the Roll with it tote. Thanks for a lovely series.
I love them all but my favourite is by far the Roll With it Tote. Stylish and sophisticated while still being very playful. Congratulations to all involved with this initiative.
Roll with it tote
I love them all, but the Cleo Everyday Wallet is my favourite β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ
I love all of them my favourite is Roll with it Tote x
I’ve enjoyed learning about each of these quilted projects.
I think the cleo everyday wallet is my favorite. Followed very closely by the roll with it tote. I’ve been eyeing both of those patterns for a bit. My craft room is a disaster. I am in the middle of painting it. All of my crafty stuff is in totes so I’ve held off on compiling my next projects for a bit.
I love the Roll with It Tote with the Cleo a close second! Thanks for this series – lots of beautiful inspiration!
Creative Tote wins for me!
So, so hard. Love them all but I’ll say the Roll with it Tote.
They are all gorgeous, but if I had to choose just one it would be the Cleo. I have made a couple of these, but the quilting just takes it up to a whole new level!! Congratulations to all of you.
Jen
My favorite is Stand Up & Tote Notice
Fabulous bags but my favorite is the Roll With It Tote. The design and use of colour just draws me to it.β€οΈ
They are all gorgeous! My favorite is the Stand Up and Tote Notice, but the Creative’s tote is a close second. I have so many ideas now!
Not sure I could pick just one they are all wonderful. I really love the look of the Roll With It Tote, and the Cleo Wallet is awesome too!
I like the roll with it tote. But they are all so fun and unique.
They are all Beautiful! My favorite is a toss up between the Roll With It Tote and the Carry All Flexi. You did a smashing job, Crystal!
Thank you Sally β€οΈ
Definitely the Roll with It Tote – Thats the one I would love for myself.
They are all gorgeous but I think the Roll With It Tote and Everyday Wallet are tied for first in my book!!!
Hmmm…this is a hard decision. They are all so nice. I will go with the Creative Tote. Thanks for the draw!!
I am loving that Creative Tote. Well to be honest they all look amazing! Thank you for the inspiration, must go now make some quilty panels and have a go at some of these fabulous ideas.
Love the bags and the colors, if I must choose I’d say the Carry All Flexi Clutch. Thanks for the opportunity, hope I win.
Wonderful bags, roll with it tote is my favorite, but I truly want to make every one. Thanks for great giveaway.

Thank you Reece! β€οΈ

It’s so hard to say I have a favorite or that I like one over the other, but if I had to make a choice it would be the roll with it tote.?
Thank you!
The Roll With It Tote is my favourite and followed very very closely by the Cleo ?
The roll with it tote is my favourite. Love the colours.
If I can only pick one, I think it might be Stand Up and Tote Notice. I’d rather get to pick 5, they are all so great.
I learned a lot and will try a couple of those ideas soon.
I love roll with it tote. I love them all let’s be serious. Lol
I love the creative tote and the piecing on it plus the glorious colours. Inspired now to make my own patchwork Creative Tote.
Cleo but they are all fabulous
All the bags are delightful. I especially love the stand up tote. Thanks so much for the this series! I enjoyed reading about all of the bags.
My favourite is the Stand Up and Tote Notice, but they are all stunning. X
Wow!!! You ALL are AMAZING!! Thanks so much for the kind words & all the LOVE!β€οΈ I feel so very blessed!
Vibrant colours. I am drawn to the Roll with it tote. All great bags for spring!

I love the creative tote!!
GIVEAWAY HAS CLOSED! Winner announced soon! ?
Don’t know if I am commenting in time to be included in the “give away” since I haven’t opened my email in a few days… but I have so much enjoyed your blog.
My friend and I are just starting to make bags and I have found your directions so helpful.
Thank you so much.
The Carry All Flexi Clutch is my favorite. I have been looking for a bag that will fit nicely into the saddle bag on my motorcycle, not too small, not too big, but still be colorful since I am not a traditional black leather wearing biker!
Roll with it and creative tote are both my faves. These bags in the series are great! Thanks so much for making the series.
