Instructions for making this Album Block Case are in Elly Sienkiewicz's book Papercuts and Plenty, Volume Three of Baltimore Beauties and Beyond.

This Leg of the Journey – Completed January 2006

After I had completed two blocks I realized that my work was in great danger. Our house is very small, and with a husband, a teen-aged son, and two Official Quilting Monitors (cats), a quilting mishap was certainly imminent. I discovered the Album Block Case in one of Elly's books, and thought it would be the perfect solution. It was quick and easy to make. I suggest that you use white flannel for the inside fabric.

The case is 18 x 18 and has flaps to secure the blocks, and a front that folds up over the flaps. The case ties closed and has a handle.

Lesson Learned

Think a little harder about fabric when laying out a one-way design! Yes, I know that the lovely toile print on the front is upside down!
