    Default potholders for family reunion
    I try to make some pairs of potholders for our family reunions and I was able to make 12 pairs of the fruit print and 4 pairs of the sunflower print, using what I call picnic table print for the backs. I will be giving these away at our reunion in August. I sort of cheat when I am making this many, doing a sandwich and rounding the corners and after turning and tucking under the opening material, I use a decorative stitch for the edges and practicing my FMQ on the centers.

    I don't think that is cheating at all. They look great! What did you use in the middle?

    I use the heat resistant fabric and in fact, I bought a bolt of it, cause I make so many potholders. I put in 2 layers of the fabric.

    They are very nice. I think I will also "cheat" by copying your work.

    No such thing as cheating. These are neat pot holders sure that they will be well received. BrendaK

    Oh! I like those. You did a great job. There is no cheating only streamlining.
