Small Purses -
 

Here are some coin purses I made for some friends
They are 4" - 5" in size. I used velcro for the closure.

Nice work! The squares must be so tiny! What a nice friend you are!

Nice -

When do you attach the velcro? Do you put the velcro across the entire opening?

What do the backs look like?

I put the velcro on each half on the inside liner about 1"- 1 1/2" below the edge before I sew each half together. I do the birthing method with each half. Then sew the two halves together face to face. Sometimes I sew them so I can turn them inside out and hide the seams and sometimes I just sew the halves together.

The backs are usually the same fabric as the borders. When I can't do that then a fabric that goes with the piecing. I don't quilt them. Too much work LOL

Ya know S I don't know off hand if I did tute for this or not. I'll have to look.

Very nice!!!

Thanks! I am a miniaturist. I work with 1 1/2" and 1 1/4" squares. I use my own method I call my Piece n cut method. You can check out my website it's listed in my signature.

These were made for friends at a retreat I attended recently

Great idea to showcase those fun patterns!

Those are darling. Love the mini quilt blocks!

Great job!

Very nice! They look great.

Neat idea. And great block patterns

Those are just too cute!!!

Thanks everyone. I love making minis.

Beautiful purses. Could you fasten as with glasses cases?

yes you could. you can add a flap and use a button or a large snap. I've done both. You can use a zipper or a magnetic fastener. It's all up to what you want to use.

Those are so pretty Rhonda. Your work is always just the best. :)

Thanks Susan I appreciate your compliment :)

Thanks lynnie! I'm glad to have at least one fan! :)

Those are terrific blocks and what a great way to make them useful. I still have the mini one you mailed me on my refrigerator door.

You have many - me, among them!

Thanks S and MQ2 I appreciate you both. I often wonder if anyone is listening when I post. LOL my insecurities showing

I was asked some time ago to post my trifold billfold tutorial and I am thinking I never did a tute on these coin purses. So something to shoot for some time in the near future

That is the way I attached the velcro when I made some coin purses and cosmetic bags. They go quickly. You have done a fantastic job.

Very nice! I can be your friend:)

Great idea! I made some 4.5" blocks in my embroidery hoop. Now I know what to make with the extra blocks. I thought of a mug rug but I like your coin purse idea better. Thank you for sharing. Your blocks are fantastic!

adorable! nicely done

Very pretty! Lucky friends.

Cute as can be....

Thank you everyone for your comments!

Nice work, I'm sure they will love them and your thoughtfulness.

Clever use for miniature blocks and a nice gift for friends.

Such exacting work.

What sweet gifts!

How did I miss these...sew cute...

I love them all, especially the purple star. Your friends are fortunate to get them.

Beautiful work! Great idea too. Thanks for posting.
