Thanks for joining me for the first week of #QuiltChat's Thrift Gift Maker hour.
Gift Maker chat is scheduled for Sunday 7 pm EST and Monday 10 am EST.
The first week is nice and easy and everyone should be able to make one. Next week we have Show & Tell! (Just email me a picture of what you have made and I will add it to the picture album.)
Step #1 Grab an Orphan Quilt Block-
I know you have a shoebox full!
You will also need some backing fabric (thick cotton is preferred), some binding, some batting or hotpad Insulation.

You will also need some backing fabric (thick cotton is preferred), some binding, some batting or hotpad Insulation.
#2 Cut pieces of backing and batt equal to the size of the the block. Sandwich the layers together and baste- pins should be adequate.
#3 Choose thread to match and quilt your block.
#4 Square up the little quilt and trim.
#5 Apply the binding.
#6 Finished!
This will work with any shape of block you have hanging around, and can even be used to make the glove shaped hotpads.
What can you make?
