MSQC Tumbler Bag

Today I have a bag to share that I made last Fall.  It's the tumbler bag from the Missouri Star Quilt Company.  Within minutes after the video started, I knew I just had to make one.  I picked up a 5-pack fat quarter bundle set, the City collection from Fabric Palette by Fabric Editions, Inc., from the sewing section in A.C. Moore.  With this amount of fabric, I was able to make the bag base and a pieced strap but for the bag lining and pocket I used up some yardage from my stash.  Luckily I already had the MSQC tumbler ruler that I purchased a few years prior and a button in my craft stash so purchasing the fat quarters was all that I needed.  It was a quick project, one that I'm sure could be completed in a day as time allows but with working full-time, I stretched it out over two weekends.
