Block Party by Mary Fons
Learn beginner quilting techniques and make a quick potholder.
10" finished quilt block
10" square of cotton backing fabric
10" square of cotton batting
10" square of insulating materials
Package of bias tape
Removable fabric marker
With the backing fabric wrong side up, layer the insulating fabric, batting and quilt block over the backing with right sides up.
Mark the desired quilting lines using a removable fabric marker or stitch in the ditch. Install the walking foot onto the machine. Quilt the potholder. Trim the quilted rectangle to straighten the edges, if necessary.
Bind the potholder in the desired method using the bias tape, mitering the corners. At the last corner, trim the excess binding 4" beyond the corner for the loop. Fold the excess binding into a loop, and then stitch the short end to the binding on the potholder wrong side.
