Quilting - square casserole carrier in soft green floral and brighter palm trees on the inside

I made another casserole carrier for fundraising for Gramma Link Africa. I used a beautiful warm green floral cotton fabric which feel so soft.  It was part of part of a cut out garment which we were not going to be able to sell so this will give it another life.  I used a palm tree cotton from my stash for the inside.  It worked out really well.  I used one of the battings I made the other day and chose to layer my pieces (22" square) and then sew all the way around leaving an opening to turn it right side out.  I trimmed the batting to the edge of the fabric pieces before turning it.  I added two rows of top stitching in coordinating thread around the perimeter after a good pressing.   I used scraps of the palm tree fabric to make my handle (23") and my two loops  (6.5").  It feels a little lighter because it has light weight fabric and a lighter weight batting but I expect it will do the job of keeping a casserole hot or cold.
