Mad about patchwork

I've loved patchwork for the longest time but most of my patchwork tends to be patches of squares. I've rarely ventured beyond squares except for the odd triangles. I think it has to do with my lack of accuracy which is crucial in patchwork. I cut with scissors so the sizes of my pieces tend to vary. I tried using a cheap rotary cutter once but it was scary and it didn't cut well. Why not get a good rotary cutter? Well, last time I checked, one costs more than $50! So back to good old scissors. This bag is an attempt at quilting lines as well as patchwork. I love the handle. It really goes with the bag. This bag is uninterfaced but it has medium batting for structure.

Would you believe I hand quilted on the patches? Pain...
