This pattern includes two different styles so you can mix and match depending on your mood:
- A solid fabric version that’s perfect for showing off a favorite print or working through your scrap stash.
- A classic Ohio Star version that adds a bit of quilty charm to your kitchen.
Whether you’re baking cookies, pulling a casserole out of the oven, or just need something to protect your counters, these potholders are multi-purpose heroes. Use them as oven mitts, trivets, or hot pads—they’re just the right size for all the hot stuff!
I love how fast these come together too. You can easily sew up a few in an afternoon, making them a great project for gifting (think housewarming, holidays, hostess gifts, or teacher appreciation). They’re also a fantastic way to use up leftover batting and small cuts of fabric.
