:: Beautiful Back to School project! :: This Quilted Backpack Pattern is for a sophisticated girl: it has ribbons & buttons, has contrast front cover, is covered with flowers ~ in one word: is cutter than a button.
I love this sweet quilted backpack and just know that thousands of young girls would love their mom to make this for them. (And can imagine moms making 4 of these simultaneously as they want one for them selves, one for their best friends and then have some to give a way as presents later on in the year…)
This backpack seems a bit sturdier than the usual one with just a drawstring thanks to both the quilting and its construction.
Designer: Heidi Pridemore,, using the Chloe fabric collection from P&B Textiles.

Tip: I’d also use off-white for lining and minor other details, so that the colors will pop.
Quilting Fabrics – 4 – BLUE DAISIES
![]() 45” Wide Amy Butler Daisy Chain Wildflowers Navy Fabric By The Yard |
Quilting Fabrics – 5 – BUBBLE & SUN
![]() 54” Wide stripe Cranberry Red/ Cream Fabric By The Yard |
Tip: I’d also use off-white for lining and minor other details, so that the colors will pop.
I love this quilted bag! I can see it working in so many color combos, and would make a great Christmas gift!
I hope you’ll stop by ExpectMoore and add this project to the Pocket Week Linky Party:

Hi, just found your site this morning and I’m absolutely loving it. Oddly though, I’ve been waiting for this back pack pattern to download for almost an hour. This doesn’t usually happen on my end of things. Just thought you might want a heads up. Hopefully all is well with your site.
That’s adorable! Great colors. :)
Thanks, Shecki!
