    Default 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

    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.

    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!
