Pockets on Quilts

 While I haven’t worked on the #AHIQPockets prompt this month, I have used them in several older quilts. They are especially useful on t-shirt quilts. Sometimes the pockets can be cut out and added as a decal or appliqué.

Even better is when I kept them open at the top. The band shorts pockets of two sisters were added to their quilts so their mother could slip loving notes in them when they went to college. 

Another young friend had a special doll she wanted to keep. I added a pocket and a short ribbon to the quilt so the doll could be snapped onto the ribbon and tucked in the pocket. She never worried about losing the doll and unsnapped it for washing.
