Now I am happy with the end result. First I tried to make the back larger but my machine would not allow it so I made the front smaller to match the dimensions of the back. Now the two pieces go together with no unsightly stitching along the edge. I also quilted the pocket piece with a design from my files. Practise make perfect!

very pretty. I like this color combo and agree with you that the quilting on the back pocket adds a nice look. I couldn't see what you were talking about with the size differences on the other bag, but on this one... it's perfect.

The outline stitching that went around the quilting design showed along the outside seams on the original and that bothered me. I felt that it should have been hidden in the seam. So now on this one it is. I know that I am just being picky but that is just me. I sewed professionally for many years and everything I did had to be top notch. Old habits die hard.

Thank you. An unquilted pocket defeated the whole idea of quilting the back piece.

As they say, practice makes perfect, and this is a perfect project for sure! I like how you solved the problem with the back pocket. That fringe flower is a great design element too. Well done!

Nicely done...and you are not being picky...I would contact the designer and let her/him know you had a problem..sounds like they may need to revise the file...

This is so pretty-I was looking at some designs and I think this is one I have. If I ever remember to stitch it out I will heed your remarks. Thank you and I do love the pocket quilted.

Love the colour combination. This purse is excellent. I thought your other one was good but can see now what you meant.
