Quilting - pink and black cherries casserole carrier - reversible




I brought home a casserole carrier from our fabric sale sorting session that only needed a bit of velcro.  I usually wash all the fabric I bring home so in the washer and dryer it went with everything else.  Bummer! The black cherry fabric shrunk and now the lining was too big and was bulging!!!  I decided that I needed to fix it so I unravelled the seams and gave it an upgrade to this wonderful pink fabric!!  I added a strip of pink to the black cherry fabric to make it large enough and a different batting because the one it came with was not the right size and somewhat insufficient for the task of keeping a dish hot or cold.  I used the same QAYG - no binding method I have been using for my potholders which works really well.  Black Cherry was 22" square, pink was 24" square, handle 23" long (3.5 wide - folded in a half inch and then in half and stitched down both sides),  6.5" loops (1.5" wide folded in quarter in and then in half and stitched on the one side).   As you can see from the photos it can be used with either side facing out.  Therese
