I folded them in half, cut on the fold, and reassembled them in 4 patches placing the skinny long piece at the centers. I was able to get four of them. I cut some white for the back, and sewed all the pockets, turned them inside out, and pinned them on the bags.
I sew these on the potted motor Singer 15 as it is heavy duty and just powers through the straps on the bag. It is hard to maneuver the bag under the foot, so it is slow going. I did four bags so the next comfort quilt packages will be easier to finish.
I was pleased with myself to figure out these pockets quickly and attractively. Once in a while, inspiration strikes, otherwise it is all perspiration.

The whole package, Maybe quilt, book, card, pocket quilt. It gets put in an XL Ziploc bag with handle. |

Now that is super creative! I love what you do. It is a "no waste" project to upcycle those tote bags and make them really useful :) Great job!
Super solution --
What size block do you need for the pockets? I can probably send you a few.
Nice work. I wish I had a comfort quilt ready here, since I just found out a friends father will be doing chemo soon. No time to make one, since I'll be leaving on a 2 week trip, next week.
