The San Clemente bag from a Quilter's Dream of San Dimas, CA.  It uses 6 fat quarters and goes together fairly quickly.  I bough this pattern because my laptop will fit in it with room to spare.
This is the 16" version of "Beauty Bright" from New Leaf Stitches of Fergus Falls, MN.  Kari Carr came to speak to the guild Monday night.  She did a workshop on the Sunday before, teaching this pattern and demonstrating her notion, CLEARLY PERFECT ANGLES.  This notion helps you sew half square triangles and diagonal seams without drawing lines on your fabric.  Works really well.
This is the president's challenge from last month at guild.  After the meeting I was thinking about what I was going to do with the small quilt (such as frame it) when I decided to "frame" it with another quilt.  I made the black quilt, put piping on it the color of the butterfly and sewed the small quilt on top of it.  Worked out pretty good!
