I have been sewing a couple years, and so far I seem to use scraps almost as quickly as I accumulate them. I've used my scraps to make several potholders. Here is a pair I made as a housewarming gift for my aunt.
They might be a little big for potholders, but they are super handy for setting hot dishes on the table or counter. I used a layer of Insul-Bright with a layer of cotton batting. I love the texture the quilting adds with these two thick layers.
I created the triangle one using a new equilateral triangle ruler. I need more practice with the triangles, because I found it to be very tricky to get my points to line up with all those bias edges.
I especially like the colors in this one. It looks so perfect with my mug, that I tempted to keep it myself! I guess that just means I might have to make another similar one for myself.
