Here it is- the completed front of the Trail Tote {pattern by:
Noodlehead.com}.Oops, still have to add the front zippered pocket. In celebration of the recent Solar Eclipse, I appliqued the view we got here in northwest Alabama. Ours was a Partial view, which was at its fullest at 1:28:19 CDT. This bag is being made entirely from scrap fabric, and the grey was barely enough. Now to get the rest of the bag assembled. It will be entered in the Bag It event over at:
Elm Street Quilts Blog. To see a close up view of the appliqué, please continue reading.
Here is a close up view of the Trail Tote's appliqué. The pattern does not include it, but it was my idea to add it. That narrow "grin" of sunshine was all that was visible to us at the Solar Eclipse's fullest moment. The yellow piping brings out some color against the grey background. 'Don't know why the sun and moon appear to be lop-sided in this photo. They really are perfect circles in reality. Maybe it was the camera angle. Stay tuned to see the Trail Tote completed very soon.
