I used a canvas tote bag and added curved pieced fabric to the outside of the bag. I cut strips about 3 to 4″ high and about 1″ wider than the sides of the canvas bag. I made gentle curves using a rotary cutter and then stitched the the curved pieces together. 
It was easy to put together and now the black canvas bag looks great. Keep having fun sewing and quilting. Donna

That is a great idea for all of the totes that are given away as advertising.
