I made this Christmas potholder (no embroidery) - remember the "making a potholder in minutes" youtube? It really was quick to make. Here is the link for the video:

Thanks Debra! You could certainly make these in any size - as long as you were consistent cutting the sizes the same. Hugs, Laura*

Very nice work. I cut the pieces smaller and made a set of Christmas coasters they worked great and look very pretty. Great gift. Hugs Joyce

They said 10 inches (everything was 10 inches including the heat resistant batting) but, I don't see why you couldn't use any size - as long as evereything was the same! Hugs, Laura*

Cutting out the fabric and batting is 3/4 of the work - then stitch up 4 side - trim and flip inside out - easy!! You should give it a try! Hugs, Laura*

I love this pattern. Our quilt guild made approximately 300 of these...size appropriate for a coffee mug...for our 25th anniversary tea. This was open to the public and we had about 120 folk attend. These were given as gifts to everyone that came. The event was a huge success and really made our group visible to the community. Blessings, Avis

very nice. I never thought of making them into potholders, I've made coasters from this pattern though.

How about that!! I wonder though, did you use a batting of some sort? This one called for a heat-resistant batting. I am definitely am going to try the coasters!! Hugs, Laura*
by nancygiroir 12 Oct 2012
I happened to find a couple of them ready to sew! (I made these a long time ago). I started with 4-1/2" squares and the back piece just has interfacing on it. They end up being about 4" square when sewn together. Thanks for the idea for pot holders; will make some for Christmas gifts.

Thanks for the info - I am going to make some coasters to go with the potholders!! Hugs, Laura*

Your fabrics are pretty. Have made a few of these and never thought to make them small for coasters.
