Sewing - casserole carrier with coordinating potholders with a quilted panel

I have had some of this on hand for a while.  The panel was two bears paws with checked design in between and I expected to incorporate it into a quilt at some point.  On the weekend I decided to turn it into a casserole carrier.  I had to change the orientation of one of the bears paw and then I cut it down the middle which gave the the 22"' that I needed.  I dug through precut scraps and found enough to make a small border to go between then to make it 22" going the other way.  Perfect!!  I added a batting I made up from my Mom's scraps and a nice warm checkered fabric for the inside.  Stitched them together leaving an opening and then turned it inside out.  Stitched all the way around twice for a nice finish.  Added dark red handles (22") and loops (6") and I was good to go.  Had some spare squares sitting there which will become a different project but decided to convert two of them into coordinating potholders!!!  Therese
