Quilt Now Issue 9 – Charming Layers Wallet

by | 13.03.2015 | Bag Makes, My Makes, Publications, Quilt Now Magazine | 15 comments

The latest issue of Quilt Now should have landed on your doorstep or on the shelves of your local newsagents this week for those of you in the UK.

And my contribution to the 30 projects in this issue is a wallet which I spent far too much time thinking up complex instructions for, only for the final solution to the card pockets to hit me in bed in the middle of the night about 5 days after I’d started trying to work it out!  It wasn’t that complex after all, you’ll be pleased to know…

There are 4 card pockets, a little zipped change section and a note section at the back.  There’s no turning through of pieces, it’s all bound like a teeny wee quilt.

As for the name, it uses charm squares and layer cake pieces, so I was able to finally use some orphans.

    I love all the smaller projects in the magazine … I'm more likely to make them …. And finish them too!

    It's very sweet!
    And may I add a big thank you to you for waiting until the magazine was on the shelves before revealing any special contents! I have had to stop following a couple of people because they kept showing pictures from the magazine on the day they received it (before I have a chance to open and enjoy my copy)
