Quilted Backpack Pattern

You are here: Home / Quilting / Quilted Backpack Pattern

August 2, 2010 By Rose Fine Crafts 5 Comments

:: 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.

Choosing Patchwork / Quilting Fabric

You can see that choosing great fabrics is more than half the work.

So, I decided to do a bit of homework for you, making things easy.

I have 5 sets of gorgeous quilting fabrics here for you to choose from:

 

Quilting Fabrics – 1 – Fat Quarters – Winters Lane


Aviary 2 – Lilac – Layer Cake (16) 10″ Fabric Squares by Joel Dewberry

 

Quilting Fabrics – 2 – Amy Butler



AMY BUTLER Fabric

 

Quilting Fabrics – 3 – ORANGE PAISLEYS & OTHER DARLING FABRICS

Kaufman Paisley Fabric
owl fabric kaufmann

Tip: I’d also use off-white for lining and minor other details, so that the colors will pop.

 

Quilting Fabrics – 4 – BLUE DAISIES

Quilting Fabrics – 5 – BUBBLE & SUN

    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.
