Progress on the French Market Bag

I've been working on the French Market Bag pretty much exclusively. I'm up to the handles now. It turned out to be a bigger project than I anticipated. I'm thinking of making Mason-Dixon ButtonHole bags for my mom and sister now instead of the FMB.

I also made a mitered corner square out of some of the vintage wool to see (a) how to do a mitered corner square and (b)to see if/how it felts. I'm planning to felt it with the FMB. I think next on the needles are the felted ballet slippers for La-la, and I need to get cracking on my red scarf, if I want to make the deadline. I think I'm about 2/3 of the way done with it.

I'm also thinking that I could make a tote bag out of the mitered squares. I might have to draw some pictures, but maybe that's what the FSU bags will be - snazzy striped mitered squares.
