Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I read your first post about making them but haven't yet. I need to. They seem like something fun and easy to do. I am thanking you for sharing with all of us you easy way of making them. Usually I don't go for craftsy ideas because they have so many steps involved, but not yours. I will try and make a few today so I get the hang of it. It would be a perfect gift "just" to give someone.

They are, quick and easy. I got 50+ done this week for a bazaar table for our quilt guild.
I am starting phone sleeves next, just a little more complicated. Ten days to go, we'll see how many are finished by then. It is nice using scraps of fabric and batting to open space for new stash.
At some point in this thread (or another one about this same subject) there was a question about the pattern size. The original pattern that I printed out said to cut the biggest piece 7-1/2" high. Then there was a response from someone that the tissue cover turned out too small. Then someone else said it should be 8-1/2" high instead. To you all that have been making so many of these - what is the correct size?
I have been making some of these from another pattern and I really like this pattern better, but have not made any yet.
Thank you,, Pat
I've been making these for my friend's daughter to raise for funds for their dancing school. I use the size in the original post 5 1/2 x 6 1/2 and 5 1/2 x 7 1/2.
I had templates made by a sign writer for a couple of pounds so I can tell very easily whether or not a scrap is going to fit and speeds up cutting immensely.
The tissues I use are packs of 10 from our Poundshop (Dollar store - which of course here, is $1.60, lol). The tartan holder has tissues in it.

Thank you for the size info. I am sharing this pattern with my sister and two friends and wanted to give them the right sizes.

Good for you! I made 6 after your original posting and plan to make more for stocking stuffers this year. I added the suggestion of another poster and boxed the ends. They are so much fun to make and really made me feel productive when I was procrastinating on a larger project.
A fabric stash is always missing that one fabric needed to finish the quilt on which you're working.
I made 60 of these for our Christmas boxes at church. I made them last year for our church members
A friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway.
Unless they ALL sell and then you will need one for yourself
