Thanks S and MQ2 I appreciate you both. I often wonder if anyone is listening when I post. LOL my insecurities showing

I was asked some time ago to post my trifold billfold tutorial and I am thinking I never did a tute on these coin purses. So something to shoot for some time in the near future

That is the way I attached the velcro when I made some coin purses and cosmetic bags. They go quickly. You have done a fantastic job.

The backs are usually the same fabric as the borders. When I can't do that then a fabric that goes with the piecing. I don't quilt them. Too much work LOL

Ya know S I don't know off hand if I did tute for this or not. I'll have to look.

Great idea! I made some 4.5" blocks in my embroidery hoop. Now I know what to make with the extra blocks. I thought of a mug rug but I like your coin purse idea better. Thank you for sharing. Your blocks are fantastic!
