Quilting - Fun potholders

I made four sets of potholders on the weekend!! It was fun to dig out fabric and find something that worked and then stitch them all together into potholders.  I cut the backs first (7"x 9" or so) and then stitched together pieces to make the fronts.  I trimmed them down to be the same size, added two layers of flannel inside and stitched them all the way around leaving a gap so I could turn them inside out.  I trimmed the corners, turned them inside out and poked out the corners.  I pressed them and was careful to press the opening so I cut overstitch it closed.  I stitched all the way around the edge using coordinating thread and then did around the green square.  Then I added some stitching inside the green square generally stitching straight lines in one go to create my shapes.  I will be bringing them to a family function and passing them on!!  My Mom has made potholders for our family for years.  She is in hospital at the moment so no sewing is getting done!!!  Therese
