    Wouldn't that be great for children[and grown-up's too]. Add a back-ground block and teach them to applique or use those fancy stitches on the machine. WOW!!!! :thumbup:

    Thanks for this tip. I am thinking I might do this with the scraps form each quilt I make. Then I will remember each one of them. Thanks again.

    I've never heard about using coffee filters in the bottom of flowerpots.
    Can you tell us how and why?
    Thanks,

    In answer to your question, if you wet the filter, it pulls out very easy.

    Otherwise, thank you so much for sharing this site.

    Very interesting and I see something very similar in my near future. Did you happen to see the other things on her blog? I love the car caddy made out of a drink cup holder and will have to make one. Thanks for the post!

    this is kinda cool. I don't use round filters, but the next time we have extras at work, I may nab some for testing this out. :)

    PS - I use a percolator for making coffee (when I have coffee)

    I have a whole stack of filters for my old coffee pot -

    You know, my mother in Law has been doing that for months! She has made a few quilts (I think about the # of quilts) with the coffee filters and they are Beautiful! She uses scraps, I believe that she also made pot holders or trivets using this method! It is a great way to use the coffee filters and to make PERFECT circles!
    Another thing that she uses are muffin tin liners to make smaller circles! She is very cleaver my mother in law! She says that I am her favorite daughter in law! Never mind the fact that I am her ONLY daughter in law, I am still her favorite! lol
