Quilted Potholder

This easy potholder project is a great way to make use of any excess quilt squares that you may have left over after completing a rag style quilt project.
       These two quilt squares were left over from our recent Stars-n-Stripes quilt design. I stitched around the perimeter of each square to secure the edges and to hide the batting that is sandwiched in between. After that, I clipped all the exposed raw edges. We have instructions for clipping the edges on our website. Then I machine washed and dried them. The washing and drying is what makes the homespun fabric fluff up so nicely on the edges.

Now just stack the two squares with the back sides together and stitch around the perimeter. Ta da! It's a nice thick potholder with multiple layers. I've been using this one in my kitchen already and I love it!
The Stars-n-Stripes pattern also includes directions for a tablecloth style. How fun to have potholders that match your tablecloth!
