Sew Fresh Quilts – Winter Mittens

Read through entire instructions before beginning. Press all seams open as you go.

I can see these on a bag to hold ski boots, parkas, hats and naturally, warm mittens. Love the STOP way to do the corners.
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute I love them!
ReplyDeleteLove your mittens block! I feel I need to make a whole quilt of these. What a great fabric stash buster - and a great Christmas/winter quilt at the end! Thank You, Lorna!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous pattern. thank you. xo
ReplyDeleteThis is a great scrap/stash buster. I also decided to use my various scraps of solid white for the blocks although they won't all be the same color.
ReplyDeleteI really like this block! I am going to try to make this and the ornaments block into pillows for my sister's new house. She will love them!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I'm glad the first two blocks are fairly easy. I hope to get caught up this week.
