Several years ago I read about putting a pocket on the back of quilts to hold pieces of fabrics for repairing the quilt in the future. The fabric would have been washed with the quilt so repairs would not be so obvious. I thought this was a great idea.

I made a couple T-shirt quilts and used a pocket from a shirt to add as a design feature on the front. Made it larger enough for a remote control or cell phone and it was near the top for easy access. Everyone thought it was great.
