String-Piece Scraps for a Fun and Quirky Potholder
| August 25, 2024 | Kitchen Quilts
Simplified Construction Makes It a Quick Project!
Turn scraps into a fun potholder or trivet with a cute and quirky chicken. It will be charming in whatever colors work best in your kitchen and also makes a delightful gift.
The body of the hot pad is made with a quilt-as-you-go string piecing technique while the chicken is created with raw edge applique. Finish it off with self-binding by folding over the backing and making simple mitered corners.
This is an easy project that goes together quickly, even for beginning quilters. You may want to make a few extra to have on hand for last-minute gifts.
Once completed, the potholder from Deb’s Days Designs is 9″ x 9″.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources.
