Pattern for a carrier for quilt blocks
 
Hi, I am looking for a pattern for a carrier for quilt blocks. It's quilted and has a zipper all around it with handles. I think they used timtex in it but not sure. It can hold up to a 14" block.
Thanks ladies for your help.

I have a pattern from Patterns by Annie called "Project Bags". It has 4 sizes included in the pattern. You might have to order it online. Her web site is www.ByAnnie.com

My daughter found a nice one that was for scrap booking at Michaels.

I found an acid-free plastic box, made for 12" x 12" scrapbook pages. Got it from Hobby Lobby.

Good idea to make one with a zipper, years ago we made them with the cushion panels and glued cardboard into them as stiffeners, but they only had a tie to close them and so you couldn't really trust that smaller blocks wouldn't fall out. Here's a link to a roll-up pattern just in case it might interest someone. http://greenbirdquilting.com/Quilt-block-carrier.html

Most patterns for a computer lap top would work for this. There is many of them out there, even the fab four main pattern makers have them. But, you could use a plastic craft container as the insert to make it a hard case. They sell these at walmart.

Another good idea is to use the accordion file folder for blocks of the month. Keeps them all separate but together.

I just went an purchased an inexpensive binder with a zipper. Works for me.

Here's another cute idea, but they use Velcro not zippers. http://appleblossomquilts.danemcoweb...e-block-caddy/

Mee, too, and I cover the outsides with contact paper. I also write across the front edge what's developing in there...."Baby Quilt", "Selvedge Blocks", etc. Then stack them up!
