i-create Week 9 - Pocket Quilt

This last week I was busy finishing a pocket quilt for my niece who is celebrating her 21st birthday this weekend. The idea of the pockets in the quilt, all 21 of them is to gather 21 things about her from friends and family. Each pocket will hold a description of her or anything you can say about her. 

It was quite tricky to put them together as 21 is not really an even number. Whichever way or direction I go for the 21 pockets I always ended up with one extra until finally I decided to put the 3 pockets below her printed images.

The images at the center of the quilt is printed on a 13" x 19" 100% cotton poplin inkjet fabric sheet. The block measures 30.5cms x 41.5cms. The 21 pockets measures 6.5cms x 8.5cms. The whole quilt measures 56cms x 65cms.

I now have 5 nights to go to finish the quilt and print the 21 messages I need to put inside the pockets. When this is done, I will take another picture and post it on this site.
