Show & Tell - QAYG Potholder

I finished the quilt top for Sophia's quilt. I still have to cut the batting and trim the backing and then it will be ready to longarm it when I have the opportunity to get to Sparrow Studioz. Next I decided to work on a quick project so that I can actually feel like I've gotten something accomplished. I was in the city on Friday and picked up some Christmas fabric and some Insul Bright so that I can make some hot potholders. Here's the first one:

I wanted a scrappy look and that's what I got, with no fabric repeated. I already had this centre fabric with nice little square pictures that are perfect for the starting square.

I found out my nephew Jason and his wife are hoping to adopt a baby girl. They will find out for sure on Tuesday. I'd better get to work on this quilt as it's for their new baby:

Now it's your turn to share. Here's my button:

Guidelines for Show & Tell

Link up any recent post that features your current creative project. And it can be a work in progress as well.
Please remember to link to your actual blog post, not your main blog page, so others don't have to search.
Somewhere in your blog post, you must link back to my blog or put the 'Show & Tell' button in your sidebar.
Please don't just add your link and go. Check out a few of the other links and comment. The best idea is to check out the 3 or 4 links just previous to yours. That way every link will get visited. And maybe you'll pick up a few new followers along the way.
You don't have to follow me to post your link on my blog, but that would be much appreciated.
Have fun. This is a party after all.
