Sewing - Christmas potholders using scrappy strips in a chevron pattern

I am working on more potholders!!  This set I will be using to package two little gifts for a social meeting I am going to on Monday.  

I cut three layers of flannel for batting and then added the little triangle in the middle one one side and added strips using the sew and flip method.  I used strips of Christmas fabrics in red and green.  It was very fun to play with Christmas fabric scraps.  I used a red and green plaid fabric for the backing and added the hanger using the little triangle in the corner to secure them like I have on these ones.  I like that the hanger then lays flat so it is more elegant when  you use it as a trivet.  I added several rows of quilting lines following the chevron pattern using red thread.  They are very festive looking and will make great packaging for the gifts.
