Christmas Tree Hot Pad

Hello Dear Friends and Readers and a warm welcome to today’s post, Thank you for visiting susies-scraps.com.

Christmas is almost upon us, and I can’t believe how quickly the year has flown again. I would like to wish you all a very happy and peaceful holiday period. I am looking forward to sharing more quilty adventures in the new year. This is a quick post relating to the Christmas Pine Tree Half Log Cabin Block

I’m sharing a Christmas inspiration here of using that block for a simple pot holder. Although you could use any tree block of your choice.

Hot pad size 9″ x 9′.

Making the Christmas Tree Hot Pad

Lay the backing fabric right side down, then put the batting square/s on top followed by the Christmas Pine Tree Half Log Cabin Block keeping all layers as smooth and square as possible. Pin the layers.

Quilt as desired. I did some very simple machine quilting just to outline the tree.
