Gifts for a Baby Shower

I have a baby shower to attend tomorrow night.  I've been making baby quilts for all the new babies at church.  I had this E-I-E-I-O remnant and some pale blue fabric and made a Zig Zag baby quilt and decided to make a matching diaper bag too!  The finished diaper/tote bag is 11 1/2"tall x 9"wide x 5" deep.

The quilt is made with charms squares and the bag is made with 6 charm squares on each side and the bottom piece is 14 x 12".  The lining is gray.  Tote bags are amazingly quick and easy to make.




I'll tie the quilt in a bundle with a bit of raffia and I have some baby bath and lotion and a gift card to add to the bag too.
