January Project of the Month

Avoid the January blues!

Quilt yourself a couple of snowman potholders. Then put them to work in the kitchen to whip up a pot of chili, some homemade cinnamon buns and a cup of hot chocolate!

This project includes a snowman block that can be foundation pieced and 30 new fabrics in icy cool shades of blue.

The quilted potholder features:
1 6-inch by 7-inch block
1 1/2-inch long vertical border
1 1-inch long spaced squares border

The overall size is 9" by 10". Use the quilt just as it is or modify it in any way you like with Quilt Design Wizard™.
