Handmade Quilted Wallet

It was my determination to make a quilted wallet, however it took me almost 3 days to complete and make this happen.  Basically, I have to re-cut and re-purpose some of my fabrics...this is how I made them....well, wherever you go, this zippered change pocket, credit card and bill pockets, and hook and loop closure will keep your valuables secure.  This red, white and blue fabric was initially my first project, I cut up 3 different kinds of fabric for patchwork














Supplies: 
Yardage is based on 43"/44"
8"X9" rectangle eah of 3 different fabrics for patchwork.
(You can also use one fabric and batting for quilting)
