I find thought that the pencils hold in fine if the tape is firm enough. hi key mistress: the flaps are of course a great idea and are used alot in knitting needle rolls, they could be used in this situation too of course.

It holds them in quite snuggly. Do you ever have problems with the pencils being too loose and falling out? I think the twill tape would feel nicer than elastic and I'd love to use it, if it holds the pencils in well.

Thanks for providing the tutorial, I'm definitely going to give this a go. It would make a great gift!! Is there any chance you can provide a better photo on how you have done the velcro tie.

You rock my casbah. I bought colored pencils on back to school sale last week in hopes of figuring this out. You've made it so much easier. Thank you for your generosity. You make my world a better place. Now-- when you say the whole thing was quilted, I get confused. I know that makes me sound dim, but what exactly does that mean in terms of doing all the above, and... then. Oh god, I do sound dim but I don't know how to go about quilting it. Is the sewing of the rows sufficient? I am planning on learning how to use the binding (never done that before either. May I reserve the right for more questions? Thanks so much, Kath.
