¼″ seam allowance throughout
2-at-a-time + 4-at-a-time HSTs, trimmed to size
Simple quilt sandwich using 2 layers of batting
Traditional double-fold binding; machine or hand finish

Finished Size (each): approx. 9″ × 9″
Batting/Heat Layer: Two layers cotton or one cotton + one Insul-Bright
Backing: 12″ × 12″ per potholder
Binding: 2½″-wide strips (loop uses a 2½″ × 6″ piece)
All Exshaw Quilts patterns assume 42″ usable WOF and ¼″ seams.
Safety: Insul-Bright is not microwave-safe.
The Potholder Trio is one of those quick wins: approachable for beginners, satisfying for seasoned sewists, and ready for everyday cooking or gifting—whether you sew one favorite or the whole mix-and-match set.
