Boot Scootin' BBQ "Hat Trivet"

 Hey quilters....hope your weekend is off to a great start. I'm multi-tasking these days. I came to the conclusion that I'm better at sewing than a nurse. Kudos to all you health care workers! Although I did come up with a routine if anyone is going through the same. When he has to "ice" for 2 hours...I run and sew! Clever right? :-) Anyway...today I'm sharing the fun hat trivet with you. I love the nesting templates and it allows you to "fussy cut" the Welcome to Quilt Town fabrics as desired. You will rotary cut and sew the same as the previous boot trivet instrustions with a few size adjustments. The hat trivet finishes roughly 8 3/4 x 8 3/4. I say roughly due to using the Insul-bright for hot/cold items it may be a bit bulky when you fold back your border/binding. Plus....they are stack-a-ble too! Great space saver :-)I hope you're enjoying this fun...fast & fab "scrap-a-long." I love a fun project on a small scale. It gave me the chance to play with my decorative stitches on  my Brother sewing machine and try new techniques using Aurifil thread. Win..win! Remember...no "quilting police' on my blog...sew get creative & have fun! I thank y'all for following and check back soon for a "Christmas in July" project featuring Island Batik (Lumin Fabrics). I'll be showing a "sneak peek" soon of the fabric so you can get it before it sells out :-) Enjoy!

Blessed Quilting from My Home to Yours,
