How to Make Quilted Potholders:
Step 1
Cut the fabrics to size, then arrange the squares into a 9-patch block, and stitch them per row before stitching the rows to each other, make sure to press as you go. Cut the block in half based on the center square and make sure to cut in both directions, and you’ll end up with 4 block units.
Step 2
Cut the batting slightly larger than your quilt block, then place the quilt on top, and double the batting if you want. Quilt the layers together however you want, then cut out the excess batting around the edges, and then cut the backing to the same size as your quilt piece.
Step 3
Lay the backing and quilt piece together with their right sides facing, then make sure to put the ribbon in the top corner as shown in the video, and pin them in place. Stitch them all the way around, then leave a gap for turning, and turn the piece right side out. Poke the edges, then tuck the opening, and stitch it close.
