I was on a roll and made another casserole carrier yesterday!!! This one used a cast off of heavy weight fabric in fun stripes. I pieced the 22" square and then stitched it to one of my batting squares. I trimmed it to the size of my fabric after adding the stitching. I trimmed out a 24" square of the yellow fabric for the inside and then pinned the two get together very closely. I added quilting lines going the other way which are completely absorbed into the design of the fabric. Next, I bound the edge by folding the yellow over the stripes in the same way as I have been doing for the QAYG - Potholders. This way of finishing a piece works really well for me. I can get my corners lined up and properly stitched. I added a 22" handle and two 6.5" loops in yellow to finish off my carrier.
