My Pocket Quilt!

Hello people of the inter-webs!

I apologize for slacking off with posting. Hopefully I will get back into the swing of things soon!

Anyway, today I decided to show off a quilt that I made!

Here is my pocket quilt! It is 49”x 60” or big enough to cover Mom (with the exception of 3 or 4 inches.) I used a tutorial out of a book called Project Teen to make it. I recommend checking it out, it has a lot of useful tutorials!

Here is one of the pockets. I made 12 pockets in all, 6 little pockets and 6 big ones.

Here is one of the smaller pockets. All of the pockets are lined.

I used blue minky for the back. Attaching the back to the front was interesting. We used a whole lot of normal pins to secure the back to the front, then we flipped it over so the front was facing up and put a safety pin in everyone of the squares. Then I had to sew the whole thing! We did not use a lining because A) that would have meant more layers and things to pin and B) my machine couldn’t have sewn the thing together in the end. It’s still very warm and cozy anyway!

So that’s my quilt! This has been a post that I’ve wanted to make for a long time, and now I finally have! Yay! Sorry that it is a little short, I’m hoping to get a good how-to or something up on Thursday. But that’s it for now!
