Another Fidget Quilt

Just finished this fidget quilt.  It is machine pieced and mostly machine quilted.  I did have to do some hand quilting from the back to be sure the pocket areas stayed functional.  It measures approx 27 in X 29 in.  There are many fabric textures -- cottons, linen, burlap, ribbons, sateen, velvet -- as well as zippers, buttons, beads.
In this section you can see the velour rickrack, wooden beads, working shirt pocket, and zippered pouch.  The pockets are working pockets. 
Here is a working pocket from a pair of old jeans.  I fused and then embroidered around the sateen heart.  I also used yarn and twine to macrame the ring/key holder.
This burlap bag is freely open so that candy or tissues could be placed inside it and the opening pulled closed.
The shirt "unbuttons" here.  I placed fabric behind the shirt tabs to hide the quilt batting.  The beads are on a string so they can be "worried" and played with.
