Log Cabin Style Hexie Potholders

Make a Set for Any Season!

These wonderful hexie pot holders are constructed so that the strips create rings around the central hexagon. The examples shown here, from PamKittyMorning, were made up in Christmas colors although the prints work any time of the year.

They will be wonderful in other color combinations, as well. Make up a set to match your kitchen or for a particular season. They make wonderful gifts, too, so consider making several while you’re at it.

We played in Photoshop a bit to show you how the potholders could look in other colors.

The tutorial, from Freshly Pieced, is for a quilt block but can be easily adapted to pot holders. Simply layer up a pieced hexie and add a binding and hanging loop instead of stitching it into a block.

This tutorial has the added advantage of keeping the angles square.
