Patchwork Zipper Pouches

These are some patchwork zippered pouches that I made for presents this year.  There are many great zippered pouch tutorials out there, for this one I used the Quilted Patchwork Pouch at Moda Bake Shop by Julie Hirt.  I love this pattern because it teaches you how to make boxed corners, insert a zipper, and has lots of possibilities for quilting the pouch.  The directions and pictures are easy to follow.  The patchwork makes it easy to quilt diagonal lines or you can do straight lines with your walking foot guide.  You can use 2 1/2 inch squares or a mini charm pack.  I used Sunnyside by Kate Spain, Weeds by Me and My Sister Designs, and Social Club by Eric and Julie Comstock.  A great place to buy mini charms is Green Fairy Quilts
