I made this tote bag for a customer. I like it but I wish I had made the sides and bottom bigger. It ended up 4" wide and I should have made it 6" or 8" wide. Oh well next time!

It is 15 1/2" x 16" x 4". The quilt block is a 12" quilt block using a 2 1/2" template to make HSTs my way. I call the Quilt Block - Rolling Stars.

The front

Inside the bag

Sorry this is blurry but you can see how wide it is. I wish now I had made it wider.

I think it's the perfect size. If you had made it any wider, I think it would be too heavy from trying to fill all the space up, IMO!!
