It turned out larger than I expected (about 15" x 18"), and I made longer than usual handles. It works well to put it over one's shoulder, but if just carrying it, it'll drag on the ground.
Would it be appropriate for a shopping bag replacement (save a tree)? Carrying books? Or should I keep it myself and make something else that is more obviously useable? Decisions, decisions.
BTW, the little star pocket is something I unstitched from an apron that had one too many patches on it. The apron looks better, and I gained a little patch to put on the bag.
I made a couple of pot holders, too.

looks like a great bag to me! I'd go with the younger person, just 'cause at 20 something you still have hoards of stuff to carry -- at 90 not so much :-)
I love the bag! I will agree with Quilt Pixie. When we trek to the nearest Barnes & Noble (only 120+ miles!)...I always see young college students with bags that would midget mine!
Love the potholders too. Did you use anything special for the batting/stuffing?
For the pot holders I just used 3 layers of 100% cotton batting. Sometimes I use 4 layers. These have 3.
