I made a new large 33”x15” hot pad that I can use at camp for all the food spreads we have with our camp friends. Really didn’t like the color scheme I needed to use, but I did have enough scraps and pieces to make this quilt.
Made strips (no pic) and cut them bargello style to 2.5” wide and stitched back together for the quilt top.
Cut out a piece of leftover oven mitt backing to be 2” smaller than my top so I could roll over the front to the back to finish it off
Then I stitched across the grey blocks with yellow thread. Stitched across the other way on the grey to crosshatch the stitching.
Little hard to squeeze a larger quilt into my sewing machine.
I hand stitched the corners to make them pretty, then I did a decorative stitch to keep it prettier!
I probably use the backside to put the cook pots on, coming off the grill and cooktop will probably make the pots and trays a little dirty on the bottoms. The reflective backing should be easier to clean then the cotton fabric.
Thanks Trish And Kim for this challenge.
What an interesting way to make a table runner! I'm going to have to remember this for the 2021 TABLE SCRAPS Challenge that I am hosting on my blog.
