    Default Potholders

    This is what I've been practicing my binding on. I just keep making more and more. They get a little better each time.

    I really like the pot holders,and your colors. I like to sew the back of my binding on by hand, do you? Why not try a table topper, placemats or a doll quilt to branch out a little bit. Good luck.

    On a quilt I would probably sew by hand on the back but probably not on potholders.

    I hand stitched them all to the back. I tried machine sewing, but it turned out terrible. I was just thinking about place mats. I have to admit, I'm getting tired of pot holders. lol I've been trying things that don't take a lot to put together, so I can get to the binding part faster.

    You used pretty coordinating fabrics for the potholders - and the corners on your bindings are very respectable!

    They are looking good. When I do potholders I put my binding on "back to front" so to speak and sew it down by machine on the front. I hope the quilt police do not catch up with me

    Your potholders are beautiful. I enjoy making them. I keep several available to share from time to time as "thinking" gifts............Yours so neat........Do you make your binding......?? I do and enjoy too........I include the hanging loop for mine.........Just need to improve on that......Do you have any suggestions for finishing the hanging loop.

    Happy Quilting

    They look good to me! Are you also adding a loop for hanging?
