I like piecing the backs to use up more of the smallest scraps.
It was a challenge, for I used my mom's sewing machine, which has no walking foot or free motion ability. These are so far from perfect, and I really am not pleased with the details. But I am glad for the learning process. I learned that too much quilting can take away from the pattern produced by the piecing (top right corner). I also practiced machine binding; by the fourth try I was doing pretty good.
I've linked this up with Sew and Tell over at http://www.amylouwho.com/. Lots of great stuff to check out over there!

Hey, I was thinking about you today. I was wondering what's up and sure enough your staying busy. Have fun!
Question---Did you use regular batting or something else? I like a potholder that won't make me chose between my fingers and a cookie sheet (I always chose the cookies!)
These are great! I love the double pinwheel!
We get so attached to our own sewing machine it makes it so hard to get used to using someone elses. Great work,really pretty
I think they're beautiful! The colors are sure to brighten up the kitchen. Stopping by from Sew&Tell. Thanks for sharing. Happy Sewing! :o)

These are beautiful potholders! I like how you pieced the backs!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and good luck with the giveaway. Love the potholders. Somewhere in my blog I showed a really easy potholder pattern also. I was raised in Spokane and miss the pine trees. I go back about once a year to visit my sister there. My brother lives in Seattle. I do miss the green!
