Hexie potholder #2!

It's time to show you the second potholder!

(Linking up today with the NEWFO party over at Catpatches....hoping that it's OK to finish a new project!!)

I like the way this one turned out . . . after I put the layers together on this one, I did a blanket stitch around the blue hexies on the top layer. I went all the way around and then after I clipped the threads, I cut away the batting and the backing fabric.

See the stitches on the edge?  I quilted it differently than the other one:

This one has a "Moda" loop, too:

And here is the obligatory shot of the reverse, so y'all can critique my quilting. (Grin)

I like it! And I hope that the recipient will, too!

Hope if you make a hexie potholder, you will show us yours!

Love,

    I love your hexie pot holders. I'm going to make a couple for my daughter as she has recently moved home.

    I'll wager you only get wonderful critiques for this one. Both hexie potholders are fantastic! And those Moda tape loops are a perfect idea!

    That is so cool! I really love the quilting for it, and I wouldn't have thought to wait until after stitching them all together to clip away the backing and batting. brilliant :)

    I like the details you put into this one.... especially the way you finished the edges and the design you quilted the 'design'. Is that fmq? That is beautiful.
    PS I liked your first one too!!!!
