I really like it!
Am just in the process of finishing up a couple of potholders for DDIL...need to get them in the mail to her for her birthday. Was sort of following patterns, but mostly just trying to copy pictures...so the two ended up different sizes, which I guess I should correct.
I made the mistake of using binding rather than the turn method. Probably won't do that again. It really doesn't add to the look.
I like yours better :-)
