This one is PERFECT for lugging around big quilts, lol, when I find more of them at yard sales...right? I could never put anything really heavy in it and carry it myself, but it is made strong enough for someone (like my dh) to tote, lol, it around just packed full of goodies.
I got the bright idea of looping those ends, and they would hold bottles of water if you don't want to button the tote. It made me think that making loops sideways would be a good idea if I make another one. I think I have enough of this fabric for one more.
I lined it with a canvas duck type material, so it is very very sturdy. I am still working on what I want to use for a closure. If my Kenmore would make a triangle buttonhole, I would use part of an old toy my bird had, lol.
