A couple of weeks ago was the H+H Americas trade show in Chicago. I wish I could have gone! May is always the hardest time to take away from my family so I didn’t end up going. I did however agree to sew up some samples for the Moda Fabrics booth using a few of my patterns. This Boho Haven Oxbow Tote (Regular size) was one of them!
Quilting the Main Panels
I really love how a little bit of quilting makes this bag! Plus, it’s still soft and makes using quilting cotton perfect for this tote (you can use lots of other fabrics, too like waxed canvas or cotton canvas of course). Check out my video on YouTube where I show how I quilt mine! As I’ve done in the past, I layered two layers of batting per side of the bag. Cutting the fabrics a few inches larger overall. I did a simple 2″ grid on both exterior pieces and then trimmed them to the pattern piece. And on from there!

Boho Haven fabric collection
The Boho Haven collection by Fancy That Design House is so beautiful. It’s due to arrive in shops in January 2026. So be sure to ask your local quilt shop! I love the colors and think it’ll be a hit for sure!
Project Details:
- Pattern: Oxbow Tote (Regular size), pattern available in my shop
- Fabric is Boho Haven by Fancy That Design House for Moda Fabrics
- Strap hardware, webbing, and zippers available in my shop too if you need them!
This pattern is one I have been dying to spend time on and make. I have overthought what colors to use since it came out. Now I just need to decide and make one. Or several. Thank you for this pattern!
I saw an Oxbow Tote (regular size) as a sample at my local quilt shop, along with the pattern. I bought the pattern and now I’m working on my 3rd Oxbow Tote. I absolutely love this pattern. The directions along with the YouTube videos made it very easy to follow and make.
Yes! I agree with Roxanne – I LOVE having videos to watch. I still use the pattern, but sometimes seeing it done is worth 1,000 words.
