I first saw this bag when I was the guest speaker and instructor at a fiber guild. During their show and share lots of lovely projects in all types of fiber mediums were modeled. One of the items was a fabric bag constructed of squares placed on point and joined to form an interesting three-dimensional shape. My mind immediately went to the possibility of creating it in entrelac. Many years later, that inspiration has finally become a reality.

Please note this is NOT a beginning entrelac project as there are a number of unique construction methods used.
