AprilM, are they hard to do using the denim on the back. What do you put inside, I have some denim right now from a pair of jeans that could be put to good use. Actually I need some new ones as mine are getting too thin.

Farmquilter - they arent hard at all! For the batting i use Insulbright. The quilt sandwich gets a little thick with the jeans, batting and fabric - just lighten up on the presser foot pressure if you can and go slow! You can do it! 😊

Good Morning, Everybody! Just wanted to add this link i found which closely resembles the method for making most of the potholders... i wanted to show you how really quick and easy it is!
Mine are made basically the same way shown - except that what becomes the backside of my potholder is made of jeans and that i add one more layer of W&N.
The video shows the four patch square design, but its easy to make the four patch triangle version by just folding your fabric squares for the top on the diagonal and assembling them in the same manner shown.
So... dont be real impressed by how many i actually got done because they really are quick and easy to make!
