Mongo Flower Bag

This is a bag I made for my younger sister. It's called the Mongo Flower bag. I got the pattern for it at The Material Girls Quilts in South Jordan. The pattern was printed on regular printer paper and I had to cut out the pieces and tape them together, but other than that it's a great pattern. We got the fabric from Heartfelt Creations. It took me about four hours beginning to end, but about half an hour of that was trying to figure out how to do the rosette in the middle of the flower. I gave up and pinned a red/black lace flower from Paparazzi on it instead. Personally, I like it much better than the fabric rosette. So far, it's held together really well, which is saying a lot considering how my sister treats her purses.
