An orphan block tote bag

I made my first scrappy horizon block before I decided to base my 2015 BOM around that block idea. So it was made with a sashing fabric that I didn't have enough of for a whole quilt.

I also made 4 practice triangle blocks to show how the practice triangle block could look when you make multiples. None of these blocks were therefore destined to be in my 2015 BOM quilt. And as you can see my WIP hanging rack is full:

So I decided to make a quilted scrappy tote bag with them:

Fully lined with a fabric I had deemed not quilt quality but still useful and there's also a pocket

I adore this horizon block for a tote bag I think I'll enlarge the pattern especially for totes and make it a 12" x 12" block option.

The back is the 4 scrappy triangle pp practice blocks

The bag is about 16" square so it's a handy size but not too big. I'll probably use it for taking my hand pieced hexies and redwork embroidery to the monthly sit and sew day for quilt club.
