Yes, I’ve been making potholders again !
Maybe I should call them “Mini Mini Quilts “. What ever they are called I really enjoy making them and they are such a good way of seeing if you like making a block and working out colour placement. Colour and scale can really change when put in context, don’t you think ?
They measure 8.5″ square and have a layer of batting and a layer of insulbright. I cut my double fold binding 2.5”.
Here’s a shot of the backs, for the quilting I like to stitch in the ditch.
I just love that light blue binding on the middle one. It’s called Algeria by Kona.
Cute fabric, huh ? Wish I could remember the name of it !
Thanks for having a look.
Enjoy your weekend.
I’ll be linking up with CrazyMomQuilts for Finish it Up Friday.
and WIP’s Be Gone.

Another great collection of pot holders Colleen! I really like the clever way you’ve placed the fabrics in the octagonal design ☺ Adding it to my Pins of the Week Pinterest board – I think the term is ‘quilting eye candy’!
