In usual style, Becky (and Mom) have done a fantastic job of clearly breaking things down so they can be reproduced. You can follow along with the whole process on Becky’s blog.

I can’t think of any reason I would need to store anything in a pocket located on a quilt, but the thought of the possibility tickles me.
