Instructions:

Step 1:

Cut 20 squares 2.5″ x 2.5″ using a variety of colored fabrics.

Step 2:

Cut the fusible grid interfacing – 4 squares across and 5 squares down.

Step 3:

Place the fusible grid interfacing with the scratchy side facing up on your ironing board. Layer the squares on top of it. Design the block however you want it to be. Once your desired layout is done, press them with an iron.

Step 4:

Sew them together exactly where they’re at. First, sew in columns then in rows. Fold one column and sew a quarter of an inch seam allowance. Do the same for the other columns and rows. Flip it with the right side facing down, then snip where the dash lines meet.

Step 5:

Place the template on top of the block and cut.

Step 6:

Cut 1 strip of fabric measuring 2.5″ x 7″. Place on the bottom of the cut block right sides together. Sew on the bottom with a quarter of an inch seam allowance. Trim off the excess. This will be your template to cut your lining fabric, the other side of the oven mitts, lining pieces, cotton batting and insulated batting. Make sure to cut mirror image pieces.

Step 7:

Start assembling the oven mitts. Baste the top and underside with the batting and insulated batting. For the lining, sew it all away round but make sure to leave an opening. Trim off the bulk area. Lastly sew the lining to the exterior piece.
