Strip-Quilted Tote

Summer is rapidly approaching, finally, and many of us are beginning to think about trips to the pool, the lake, or the beach. And, as usual, we have a wide variety of little items that are essential for our outing. This project is geared around creating an eye-catching tote to carry those items. With a single glance, there are several features regarding this tote that caught my eye: The vibrant colors, the simplicity, the size, and the style.
On a scale of 1 to 3, this project rates a 2 in difficulty. Some sewing and quilting knowledge are required, however not a great deal. This would be an ideal project to practice your skills on; it includes both strip-piecing and machine quilting!
A brief overview of this tote includes:
This tote is just too cute! Not only does it make a great tote, but I think it would make a really nifty handbag, too!
