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.
