The navy is also made from Joann's pre-quilted fabric, but I modified the pattern to make it a bit smaller (thanks much to other members of this board for the suggestions). I still have to buy a button for it.
Those are wonderful...
In both of those bags I put pockets on both front and back.
The pink bag (not from pre-quilted fabric) is made in the smaller size also and I used Texture Magic on the bottom, quilted with a meandering stitch. I love it! Rather than the button closure, I made a flap (from a tulip bag pattern) and added a magnetic clasp. One outside pocket only, on the back.

Make the outside and the lining, sew them together RST with 1/4" seams leaving the top unsewn. Turn right-side-out, and then top stitch along the side and bottom edges.
Sew it into the top/back exactly as you would the button loop.
Clear as mud?
