EPP triangles, some pretty scraps and Voila! Pretty pot holder!
I used the following:
60 x 2 inch triangle papers by Sue Daley Designs
2 inch Sue Daley acrylic template (optional)
Glue Pen
Assorted 2.5 inch scraps
Needle, thread, scissors.
Batting: 11x11
Backing: 13x13 square
Start by taking 6 of your triangle papers and cut in half for the edge pieces. Make sure you have 6 in one direction and 6 in the opposite direction. Cut your fabric at least 1/4 inch larger, cut out and glue baste or stitch baste if you prefer to the papers.
Using the 54 triangle papers, cut our fabric triangles at least 1/4 inch larger all the way around. Glue or stitch baste to the papers.
Collect all your sewing supplies
Arrange them how you want it to look. 9 triangles & 2 edges per row.
I like to sew these in rows, then sew the rows onto each other.
Isn't it pretty!
Remove all the papers. I find a 4mm knitting needle helps. If stitch basting remove the basting stitches.
Once all the papers are out, press really well, making sure to press the sides the way they were folded for a nice edge
Place pressed top on the batting. Quilt as desired. I stitched long the diagonal lines.
Trim the excess batting.
Place backing wrong side up on your table. Center the top on the backing and trim to have 1 inch of backing all the way around.
I pin the edges of the patchwork so it stays in place for the next part.
Press the backing in half towards the front piece all the way around.
Fold it again, this time onto the patchwork front. Clip or pin in place.
You can machine or hand stitch the folded binding edges, I prefer hand stitching.
To finish, I quilted the row of triangles and around the edges of the binding so it was all quilted together.
Finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you would rather sew this by machine, use a 60 degree triangle ruler and machine stitch them together
I used various prints I had in stash from Darlene's Favorites by Darlene Zimmerman, Robert Kaufmann Fabrics for the front. Back is medium dots by RJR.
