Tetris Quilt Along Week 5 and Turquoise Pot Holder

I finished up week five's tetris block. Had part of a purple game piece from last week to carry over.

I also made up a turquoise pot holder for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. This time I took some pictures showing how I make pot holders. The Missouri Star Quilt Company has a nice YouTube binding tutorial here.

The last picture shows 8 potholders I have made during this year's rainbow scrap challenge.

    I love how you do the potholders with each color challenge - easy way to have handy gifts.

    Hi Sheila. I'm finally getting caught up on the Tetris posts. Is that a crazy skeleton I see in your "empty" squares. How fun!

    Sheila, what batting do you use for potholders? It looks shiny on the photo.
