Mid month potholders

 

This week’s potholders are made with the crossed canoe die from Accuquilt

It makes a great 9″ finished block!

(I made a pattern for them using this die and it’s such a fun die!)

 

At first I got out 2 Fat quarters and ironed them and folded them in half twice

 Then I cut out 4 sets of each like this

 I quickly sewed them together like this

 and then the opposite blocks like this (2 of them), a fun and easy block with the GO dies! 

I think it would be hard to get accurate rotary cut!!

 I used another FQ and cut it into pieces and layered first regular batting, then insulbright, then backing and the quilt block on top right side down AND I had made hanging tags too for both blocks

Then I stitched around the edge 1/4″ leaving an opening at the bottom and then trimmed the block and batting down

 turn right side out and ironed flat and then top stitched to close the hole I left for turning inside out!

Such a simple set of potholders to make!

 

try it out!
