Use those scraps of material for a quilted potholder.

those are beautiful! thanks for putting up this great tutorial.
a couple of years ago a friend made new curtains for her kitchen and gave me the leftover fabric (blue gingham print and white on white print). it sat in my stash till this year. i made two hotpads for her from this pattern for her birthday. i reversed the order of the fabrics so one is blue with white and the other white with blue. actually, i finished hand sewing the binding while we traveled to her mother's calling hours and funeral (it was hard with all the tears i had to keep wiping away).
for christmas i'm using the balance of the fabric to cover a composition notebook for a cookbook and to make matching cloth napkins.
remember, the gift is your talent. anyone can buy something that was mass produced. the most meaningful gifts come from YOU not the store.
This pattern has raw edges in all the center, that will ravel when washed. Not a good design. Please reply. Thanks.
Hi, I'm sorry I didn't previously see this question. If you follow my instructions, there are no edges that will ravel. The potholders go in my washing machine all the time.
