Yes, that's right. It had been so long that I had to check the pattern to answer your question (an epattern that suggested you simply sew the completed 12" square block onto a purchased canvas bag).
The sizes of the "windows" for the bigger colored windows was about 2.5", and the sizes of the windows for the narrow ones was more like 4".
Here's a link to the pattern:

Since I make and sell bags, the bag itself is pretty much my own pattern. I have done the same one using another quilt block on the front. In both cases, the block was about 12" square, sewn onto a bigger square of the prequilted, then about 4" deep. Overall, a large bag, as I said, good for travel.
The Scotchguard idea is good!
Thanks to all of you!
