7 Down 5 to Go

These blocks are orphans my grandmother game me.  I love using her blocks.

Five Down - Seven to Go

More Potholders

Our church needs new potholders and hotpads.  I'm hoping to make a dozen.  These are the first two, both made with blocks my grandmother gave me.

Mine

I was trying to make a joke, but the joke turned out to be on me.  I took fabrics I thought were ugly and put them into a potholder.  How beautiful is this???

Here's another potholder with the same pattern, different fabrics.  Doesn't look early as nice, does it?!

Fabric selection is everything.

Marie's

Marie was the only person that got to choose her colours.

Cheryl's

Cheryl is a huge fan of light neutrals.  One day I'm going to try to do an entire quilt in ivorys and whites!

Brenda's

My husband chose the cat print :)

Can anyone tell me what the star block is called?  I didn't take careful enough notes.

Phil's

I love the chaos of these paper pieced potholders for Phil.

Mum's

For my mother.  Paper pieced.  In my first year of quilting, I don't think it occurred to me to square up.

Jane's

Quilting for a quilter is always intimidating.  These are paper pieced

Ali's

Ali will ever be a purple girl.  I did two like this for her Christmas 2006.  This is paper pieced.

Jen's

One Christmas, everyone got potholders.  It was when I first started quilting.  I wanted to practice making individual blocks.  It seemed like a good fit to make them all into potholders.  These are Jen's.  I enjoyed using DMC floss to quilt them.
