Materials
- Scrap fabrics
- Batting
- Ric rac
Pattern
- Download teapot foundation piecing (pdf) pattern.
Using the pattern you will obtain this teapot block. Note: the handle made of appliquéd bias tape. The bias tape is 7/8 in wide before folding.
Make a quilt sandwich and quilt the pot holder any way you like.
Then trim the square.
Add rid rac
Place the ric rac to the edge of the quilted pot holder and stitch leaving a 1/8 seam allowance.
Add binding by machine
To stitch the binding by machine, stitch first the bias tape to the back of the quilt sandwich as per picture.
Iron the bias tape from the back.
Then make a fold on the bias tape and iron (see picture) to make it easier to pin.
Pin binding to front making sure the ric rac is visible.
Top stitch.
Done!
I think this is super. Hope you wont mind if I make a couple for my long-term friends Mum. She’s in a new condo and this ought to add to some colour to the “builders beige”.
Sure. Glad you like it.
Fantastic pattern and love your colours – this is a must for my Time for Tea lap quilt. Thank you for posting this
