Friday Finish: Potholder Faux Pas

Here is a flimsy finish of my Charm Bracelets wall hanging.  (Kate Conklin's pattern.)  I have a couple variations the first of which makes it a wall hanging instead of a throw.  Since it was much smaller, I omitted a step that would give it some motion.  Just thought that it would be too much for this small a quilt, and I wanted the focus to be o Jennifer Paganelli's beautiful fabrics.  I will totally make this pattern again.  Larger, with the motion. ;0)

More Paganelli for the back.  Isn't it funny how Kona Bluebell is the perfect grey!

On to the potholder front...ahem.  These are finished, but I realized when I posted them on flickr, I forgot to checkout my secret partner's mosaic.  They are good for her description, but nothing like her mosaic! 

They have super Bible verse fabric inset in the backs, but just not her style.  I joined to try to bring someone a smile, so back to the drawing board.  I have been having fun trying to decide what to do with these!

Going to finish quilting these today, but likely won't get the check binding on.  Treasure and I have a D&DD.  (Dentist & Date Day)  LOL!!!

Be sure to use the Sew & Tell Friday button on the left side bar to visit all the other finishes...they are looking beautiful!

Blessings,

KT

  9. Your quilt is beautiful. I had to go look up who your partner was! It's too bad that you don't think they are her style but I am sure you will have no problem using them as a gift this Christmas because they are lovely! Is the last picture a new set of potholders? I really like them!

  11. I have some of those Jennifer Paginelli prints. I haven't been able to bring myself to cut them up. They are so pretty in big chunks. I loooove the colors.

    Also, that check binding on the bottom- I want to EAT it!!! Those are going to be really cute potholders!

  16. KT, I love how your JP charm bracelet quilt top turned out! You definitely chose the right Kona solid. Both sets of potholders are great. I'm sure you won't have a problem finding a good home for the first set ;-)
