Does anyone have a suggestion as far as a potholder for a quilting beginner?
Any patterns/ideas?
Thanks,
Cindy

I did this very thing for both sisters for Christmas one year - a
simple log cabin pattern in colours that matched their kitchens. Made
the log cabin block - probably a good 12-inches finished (I like 'em
big), put some heat resistant silver stuff in the middle then the
backing and a little loop in one corner facing towards the middle of
the block, sew most of the way around the block, then flip it inside-
out and hand sew the little opening. Sisters loved them so much, they
hated to use them.

Here you go Cindy - http://www.quilterscache.com/L/LogCabinBlock.html
- this should help you. The log cabin block is a lot of fun - you can
just thrown any old colours you want into it. I've never used the
paper piecing method - I just cut the *logs* about 2", they end up
being 1 1/2" when sewn together - much more manageable than 1" blocks,
especially for a beginner, and you can make however many logs you want
to get the desired size you're seeking. Give it a try and let me know
how you made out.
