Quilted Leaf Potholders Are So Easy to Make!
Vary the Colors to Fit the Season!
Can’t you see several of these quilted leaves hanging from hooks on the wall within easy reach? They’re meant to be potholders but would make great mug rugs and coasters too.
These potholders are so easy to make. Simply sew several color coordinated strips of fabric together to achieve the scrappy look.
We’ve found two patterns for making these charming little quilts. The first is a free tutorial while the second is a pattern for leaves in three sizes.

Half Stitched provides a complete tutorial that walks you through every step of making their version of leaf potholders.
These are very quick and easy, and completely charming! They’ll make great gifts and quilt guild projects.
Leaf Potholder Pattern

- medium – 7 1/2 x 9″
- large – 9 x 12″
We love the button and loop detail on the potholders from Patchwork Pottery. Notice how straight quilted “veins” work just as well as curved.
Laurraine made the following potholders for a housewarming gift. What a great idea! We love the buttons here, too.
Color Variations
Wondering what they’d look like in colors for other seasons?
This charming leaf is from Pink Penguin. It makes us think of spring!
