Quilt Block Portfolio

When taking blocks and samples to my guild and sewing circle meetings, I used to just cram them into a cloth bag. At the meeting itself, I was frequently smoothing things out by hand, and was generally dissatisfied with the results.
So the next time I went to the art store, I picked up a small portfolio, just large enough to hold a 12 inch block without folding it. That worked ok, but the blocks would slide around and I wanted something better. So I lined the portfolio with a couple of pieces of fleece, held on by double sided tape.
Works great! Now I can use my portfolio not only to carry my blocks back and forth, but also as a display board during the gatherings.
Now all I have to do next is decorate the outside, maybe with a cloth cover or something similar.
In the pictures you see the portfolio closed, then laying open, then standing as a display.
