Create Easy Freeform Trivets from Scraps
QAYG Makes Them Quick Projects!
Turn scraps into pretty trivets with Quilt-As-You-Go. They’re so easy to make and charming in any color theme.
Plus, you can easily adjust the size. Use small scraps to create coasters, and larger pieces for a table centerpiece or placemats. The process is the same regardless of the finished size.
The designer recommends cotton batting. If you’re making trivets, we suggest adding a layer of Insul-Bright batting or another heat-proofing material. Also, be sure to cut the binding strip on the bias so it lies flat around the curves.
The trivets shown here, designed by Minki Kim, are 10” and 8 3/4” across. Cutting templates are included (use a round object, such as a cup or bowl, to create templates for other sizes). We All Sew provides the free tutorial.
