My husband and just love these bowl potholders for the microwave. I made them last week and have used it five times already.
Great for your orphan blocks, just size them down or make a bigger bowl? You can make different sizes. This is a ten inch.
There are a lot of free tutorials out there. There is one on craftsy as well
Make perfect Christmas gifts, especially if you made them in different sizes.
I have already given one away and she loves it...so she says but I believe her because I love mine.
Great way to use up those scraps of batting as well.
Don't forget the "You Can Quilt" blog hop..
