Pondering

My brief is to make a shopping bag using Tunisian crochet, with flowers included in the design. This is my first attempt. At 25 cm wide, it's too small for a shopping bag, so I'll have to regard this as a large sample. I'm thinking along the lines of patchwork, perhaps four squares wide, some squares with flowers and some without. Now that I have the sample, I can take measurements and plan the bag on paper, instead of just working away blindly.
