Beach bag project

I saw this challenge on The Purse Project blog.

One of the UFOs in my stash of stuff is this unfinished baby quilt:

BUT, the backing fabric is this jaunty nautical stripe, it just whispers "beach" to me:

I'm currently ripping. I think the reason I never finished it as a baby quilt was that I'd done diagonal machine quilting and planned to fold over the striped fabric as a binding, and it just wasn't working well. Since there are no babies on the horizon, I'd rather re-work it into something I'll use.

I hope you're not ripping too much! Just make a patchwork bag. This is a great idea. Have you decided on a pattern or style yet? You have until the end of July, so there is still plenty of time. The gallery goes up August 1. I haven't even started mine yet, but I might use this fabric.
