I'm with you. I love the fact that there is no binding and you end up with a unique look at the end that makes people wonder how you did that.

Actually I was hunting another tut when I came across yours. Since then I have shared it with a couple of my quilting buddies and we have all been having a ton of fun making them. Guess it proves that sometimes "what's old is new again!" See the joy you started!

Thanks so much for the pot holder tutorial!

Thanks for posting this. I think I will give it a try.

I just wanted to say thank you for this tutorial. i made one potholder and thought it was so interesting the way it turned out that i had to show it to our little stitching group. They all thought i was going to show the disappearing nine patch - boy were they shocked that 1- it wasn't anything at all like the d9p and 2- how cute and easy the potholders turned out. thanks again. great way to use up scraps. i made mine with charm squares so it really isn't a potholder more like a hot pad!

interesting technique. i will give it a try. also, i wonder if you use a small safety pin to pin the insulbrite to the material to hold the layers together if that would help keep them together better when turning.. you remove the safety pin thru the 3" opening once the project is turned. just a thought.

I was thinking the same thing. I would think it would stay together better. Even a quick basting or tack stitch through the top and batting could be snipped loose after turning. Just my thought., anything to make it easier.
