Potholder - Borders -

 

 

I laid out some strips - 

 

For borders for the four potholders - 

 

And they are not awesome - 

 

But they will do - LOL - 

 

 

I made two piles -

 

One for each side of the potholder - left and right - 

 

And cut one pile at 6-1/2" - for the RIGHT side -

 

And the second one at 8" - for the LEFT side -

 

Now is a great time to "square up" the potholders - 

Because the sides should match the cut strips -

 

I added the RIGHT side first to all of them - 

 

Sewing with the border strip on the bottom - 

 

And pressed them toward the border strip - 

 

Then I added the LEFT side to all of them - 

 

Again sewing with the border strip on the bottom - 

 

And pressed them toward the border strip - 

 

Put them up on the design wall for a photo - 

 

And gathered the backs - GREEN squares - cut at 8" -

 

Some binding strips - LIGHT GREEN - strips cut at 2" x WOF (width of fabric) -

 

Some Insul-Brite squares - cut at 8" - 

 

Some Warm & Natural squares - cut at 8" - 

 

Made a stack for the first potholder - 

 

Back - RIGHT side DOWN -

 

Insul-Brite - SHINY side DOWN - 

 

Warm and Natural - (no top or bottom - same on both sides) -

 

Potholder "top" - RIGHT side UP - 

 

Then I quilted it "in the ditch" - 

 

I'll do the same with the other three tomorrow - 

 

Then I'll bind them - with a loop for hanging -

 

And be done - ;))

 

 

 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
