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!

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.
Buy individual chapters of my book
Now that my publisher is going out of business I have bought the rights to publish my book. Now you can download individual chapters. Each digital download is a bundle with 4 quilt patterns in it.
As well as the instructions and fabric needs to make the blocks you’ll find a section on quiltmaking basics at the end of the pattern that discusses:
- Tools
- Squaring up blocks
- Borders
- Assembly and quilting
- Binding
