I didn't but I have in the past. You can put one on the back outside as well. You can do them simple with just matching fabric or contrasting or you can make another quilt block and make it into a pocket for the back. I have done that before too.
You can also put pockets into the sides inside or out. I love pockets but this one was an order. I have made diaper bags similar to this and used elastic in the pockets I put on the sides.

Thanks K! you're right I would have it stuffed to the gills!

The only thing I thought about it size wise was if someone were taking a full size quilt or the makings of a full size quilt would it be big enough? Probably not. But I don't know how this one will be used as I made it for a customer and she wasn't real specific.

thanks everyone. As most of you know I am a miniaturist and doing something this large was not easy for me!! I got frustrated with it many times.

But I experimented with a quilting design on the back which was something new for me. Now maybe I will be braver to try something more free motion on my Doll Quilts! LOL

I find it hard to work on something this size under my needle. I am set up so my sewing machine is close up to the shelves behind my machine so I don't have a lot of moving room. For miniatures this is just fine but not for bigger projects. My ironing board is also small and in between my sewing machine(butted up against) and my tv so only about 12". Not easy to iron larger pieces on!!

So any time I work on a larger piece it becomes frustrating!! I so much prefer minis!! LOL

Using the bag for a large quilt is a great idea. Someone recently talked about making a matching pillowcase to use as "wrapping paper" when giving the quilt as a present. Making a large shopping bag to wrap the present quilt gives 2 distinct presents.
