With a few hours to spare yesterday afternoon, I sorted through my stack of pretty fabrics and stitched up another box pouch. I love all the pretty colours in this one and added a French motif that was left over from this project. I used some osnaburg for the top panel which contrasts nicely with the floral, gingham, and polka dot prints.
I quilted all the panels onto cotton wadding, 1/2 inch apart, and love the texture and structure it gives to the pouch. I added some ecru cotton lace on the back and some stripey aqua grosgrain ribbon for the tabs.
The fabrics are a mix of Darla, Ruby, Atsuko Matsumaya 30's Collection, Folk Heart, and Flower Sugar. The pattern used is from Patchwork Please! (with some modifications).

It looks lovely – such a sweet colour combination!
Beautiful!! Question please: I read a review which said that many of the directions in this book were either incorrect or difficult to understand.. did you find that to be the case? I'd love to buy it, but not if i'll have to redo most of the projects myself. Thanks!
These both turned out realllly cute!
Adorable box pouch, fabrics are so sweet!
Oh – how sweet!! I wish I had your fabric stash.
Another hit! Thanks for sharing so much with us.
Wow! Those fabrics are really cute. I shop at Hobby Lobby, and I can never find fabrics as cute as those. where do you buy such nice material?
I live in Australia and buy most of my fabrics online. I bought a number of those fabrics from Sew Deerly Loved https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/sewdeerlyloved They have lots of sweet Japanese florals.
