    %e start off with twenty four & '/4" squares.

    ()nce again, seam allowance of '/4" is

    included unless otherwise noted.*

    Twele of them will #e one side, and

    the other twele go to the #ack side.

    %e now take the twele squares that come to

    one side of the pouch. Then we+ll make patchwork strips of columns.

    fter you hae four strips, it+s time to press.

    ressing seam allowances like this will make

    your finished patchwork piece less #ulky and

    it helps to ensure that each corner of a square

     piece matches with corners of other squares around it.

    %e+ll sew them together.

    Then press seams open0 1ay $ust like you

    did for the fa#ric #asket and the patchwork 

    drawstring #ag0 ! sure loe square patches 2

    fter repeating the same process with the rest of 

    twele squares, we hae two patchwork panels.

    Then we+ll fuse each of them onto a piece

    of medium to heay weight #atting. ! like

    to use quilting spray for this process

    rather than using fusi#le #atting.

    The quilting style here is totally up to you.

    ig5ag stitching is fun and quick, #ut

    what !+e #een doing is this- quilting

    ery close to #oth sides of each seam,

    and the short edges..

    This is optional, #ut you might want to sew

    the top of the lining $ust to make sure it

    won+t #e too puffy and in your way when you

    open the pouch. >ere we want to make sure that

    in this process, we don+t hae our patchwork 

     panel underneath the lining piece #eing sewn.

    %ith right sides together, pin #oth patchwork 

     panels together and do the same for the lining.

    ?ake sure to fold your handle inside

    and to hae your
