The Sky Is Falling! pouch

One of the patterns in my Color Blocks, Volume 4 free (for now) class is The Sky Is Falling!  That is one of my Top Ten Favorite Color Block quilts and I *might* have just made another one.*

I wanted to make a dear friend a present for her October birthday so I made a single acorn block and turned it into a zippy pouch with clear vinyl.  (Sorry, no pattern for the pouch.)

I didn't write a pattern for the pouch but here's, in short, what I did.

1. Make the block
2. Layer and quilt the block
3. Cut vinyl to 11" x 11"
4. Stitch 4-fold binding to one edge of the vinyl
5. Stitch a zipper to the bound edge
6. Cut a 3" x 11" piece of fabric and press it wrong sides together
7. Stitch the other size of the zipper to the folded fabric
8. Layer the quilted acorn with the vinyl / zipper / fabric panel and stitch around the edges
9. Bind

This present is winging it's way through the USPS to my friend.  She's already seen a photo of it, so this won't ruin her surprise.

Head on over the Color Blocks Volume 4, enroll for free, download the The Sky Is Falling! pattern, and see what you can make of it!
