Money Dance Bag for Alexis

My niece, Alexis, got married this month to her beloved Matt.  I made a crazy quilt Money Dance Bag for her use during that dance, rather than have people try to pin money on her lovely dress.  Pictured below are the two sides to the bag.  Fabrics used include brocade satin, raw silk, dupioni silk and satin.  I used a variety of trims, beads, ribbons,  and added a couple of mementos from my wedding - the blue heart from my garter and some lace from my wedding night peignoir set.  Photos of the couple, that were borrowed from Alexis were printed on cotton.  Thus, I managed to get something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue all in one bag!
