Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas for what to include as extras in my DQS14 package. You all had great ideas!
I decided to make a zipper pouch for my swap partner. I came across the Pink Stitches Boxy Pouch on Instagram and decided to give it a try.
I started by making two improv panels using scraps of low volume prints.
I then quilted straight lines on the panels.
Here’s a look at the pieces ready for assembly.
I did a couple of things differently from the tutorial. I sewed the sides together by folding them into a triangle and sewing across the triangle. I also added tabs on the sides instead of the straps.
Inside the pouch, I put fabric scraps of text prints, a bar of Chocolove, and a bag of catnip for my partner’s cat.
My partner received her package today. I’m happy to report that she likes the quilt and the extras.
Now I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Love it, Nicole! I have this boxy pouch on my list of things I want to try, and I have a pouch swap coming up next month at the CMQG, so maybe I'll try this one. Love the fabrics you used <3
This pouch is beautiful Nicole…thanks for sharing 🙂
How could she not be thrilled!! Your design style is always stunning! Love seeing your posts 🙂
Darling pouch, to go with an amazing mini quilt.
Wonderful projects. SIGH of relief shared with you!
EEEEEK! I love that pouch. So cute
Of course your partner loved her swap gift! The pouch is fabulous!
I bet your swap partner was delighted! Such gorgeous gifts! I love the low volume prints you have used.
I'm sure your swap partner was thrilled! Beautiful doll quilt & boxy pouch.
Seriously coveting that pouch 🙂
it is beautiful 🙂
My zipper fear prevent me from trying this without a teacher or class nearby but I love the look of it!!! I knew your partner would love it!
I don't know if I want to be in a swap like this because the pressure of creating all those pretties would likely thwart me, but I sure would delight in being a recipient of such lovelies. Thank you for the tutorial link for the box bag as well.
Gorgeous! But darn it, I was hoping that I would be your partner! 🙂
Love the pouch — it's awesome!
Your boxy pouch is beautiful! I love your choice of scrap fabrics! I really enjoy making boxy pouches. I will have to try a scrappy one, can't quit starring at yours. Your color wheel quilt is awesome too! Love your blog!
Super cute pouch, Nicole! I'm working up the courage to make something with a zipper. Thanks for sharing the link to the pattern.
Such a fabulous parcel :o)
Lovely!
