William Morris and Recycled Polypropylene Water Bottles (Barbara Brackman's MATERIAL CULTURE)

Detail of Michele Hill's quilt from C&T's William Morris Eco-Tote

These Eco-totes fold out to make a sturdy box-like bag. They are 100% recycled polypropylene-plastic water bottles.
And they have quilts on them....

Elm Creek Quilts tote from Jennifer Chiaverini's book
...From C&T books

UPDATE: Here's C&T Publishing's order page on the eco-totes:

You can buy them at quilt shops too.

This one is my favorite as it has Michele Hill's quilt made using some of my Morris Workshop prints.

Morning Glory by Michele Hill...

...from More William Morris in Applique.

Note Michele's corner vases, featured on the book cover, are drawn from May Morris's vase, which I discussed here:
