These Also Make Wonderful Gifts!

Leftovers from your scrap bag will quickly come together into pretty trivets for protecting your table from hot dishes. Rickrack finishes the edges beautifully while hanging loops make them easy to hang in a handy place.

Select 6 fabrics that work well together for each trivet. They can be your own combination or from a coordinated fabric line.

These are so easy to stitch together. The biggest challenge will be having the points all meet nicely in the center. If they don’t, and if that bothers you, consider machine appliqueing a small circle of fabric in the center to cover the points (and pat yourself on the back for giving the trivet your own special design twist!).

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. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
