Microwave Potholder



As promised, a tutorial for this eezie-peezie project.  I cut two 12" squares of cotton fabric and two more of all cotton batting.  




Quilted the batting to each fabric square.




Sewed darts in the center of each side.  I started at 1/2" and ended at zero about an inch from the center of the block.



I did the same on the gray block.




Right sides together, I stitched the blocks all around...leaving an opening to turn.   Hand stitched the opening and finished with some machine topstitching.  Now wasn't that easy?   

Note:  no metallics or synthetics in this project, please, because it goes right into the microwave.

  3. Very nice! Knowing my family they'd fill the dish to the brim and spillage would ruin the pristine look. But that will not deter me from making some.
