How to Make a Quilted Daisy Potholder:

Step 1

Place the backing on your work surface with its wrong side up, then place the batting and fusible web on top making sure it is centered, and place the first fabric strip in the middle diagonally with its right side. Place another strip on top with its right side down and align the raw edges on the long side, then stitch them with ¼ inch seam allowance, and make sure not to stitch beyond the batting.

Step 2

Press the fabric strip open, then place another strip on top with its right side down, stitch and press, and continue adding strips until you reach the corner of the batting. Turn the piece around, then following the same technique, add the strips until you reach the corner, then fold the backing out of the way, and trim off the excess strips.

Step 3

Now, trim the backing so it is 1¼ inches away from the edge, then fold the corner so it meets the corner of the batting, and press it nicely. Open the backing and cut along the crease line, then do the same for the other 3 corners, and then fold the cut corners. Fold each side of the raw edges and press, then fold the backing over one more time so it becomes the binding, and adjust the mitered corner if necessary.

Step 4

Topstitch near the edges of the backing, then trace the design of the daisy on a fusible web, cut it out ¼ inch outside the line, and fuse it to the fabric. Cut out along the traced line, then remove the paper at the back, and arrange the pieces on top of the potholder. Fuse them into place, then stitch around the edges of the daisy, and add the hanging loop if you want.
