Scraps and a easy peezy potholder/hotplate

Many, many scraps and what I can do with these ones leftover from a quilt.

HMMMM!! A light bulb went off. WHY NOT A HOTPLATE !

I also have some insul-bright left over from my ironing board.

So I pulled out my strings and insul-bright. Started sewing together a log cabin block. When I reached 11 1/2" I stopped. So I made 4 of these blocks. That took care of that pile. Yipeee!!

So here goes,

-Scraps or strings

-Insul-bright cut to size

-make your own design, mine was a log cabin, a string block would work just as well.

- layer your blocks , top right side up , insul-bright and botttom right side down.

- quilt as desired. I quilted in the ditch. Helped with practice. Haven't done this in a long time.

- square off your block, mine squared to 11"

- binding, use scraps as well at 2 1/2 " sewn all together to make one large string

- add binding, then I stitched in the ditch again to secure rather than by hand .

If you desire you can also add grommets to one corner. That's it folks, easy peezy.
until next time
