Boot Scootin' BBQ Trivets! Phase 2

 Hey quilters...happy Friday! Hope y'all have fun relaxing plans for the weekend. I'm excited to show y'all the Boot Scooin' BBQ Trivet featuring the boot & sunflower templates. The templates are part of the collection "Hats & Boots" by Missouri Star Quilt Company. I used the "Welcome to Quilt Town" fabric collection by MSQC as well. I love this collection...full of fun colors and prints to spark your inner creativity. In the first Phase you learned some fun a-play-que and maybe even layering/fusing fabrics depending on your design. I love how versatile the nesting templates are to create a "fussy cut" design. I for one had a ton of fun and plan on making more as gifts. This is such a fun...fast project...as you can see we're already "scootin" into phase 2. :-) Sorry...had to do it! I will be showing my border/binding technique but you can definately do a tradtional binding if desired. I do this technique a lot on small projects.I even accent quilted around boots. I love a small project it really gives you the opportunity to try new techniques. Remember...no quilting police on my blog so get creative and have fun! If you are just following a long...no problem...you can still grab all supplies on Missouri Star Quilt Co website...some might even be on sale :-) I'll be featuring the "Hat" trivet next so check back soon. I thank y'all so much for following. Enjoy!

Boot Scootin' BBQ Trivet...10.5 x 10.5

Here's all you do...

* Rotary cut from Welcome to Quilt Town fabrics two strips 2 x 10 and sew to top/bottom of block,

 right sides 2gether using a 1/4" seam allowance...press.

Tip...press seams away from block.

* Rotary cut two strips 2 x 13 1/4 and sew to left/right sides of block (same method as above)

* Select one 10" square from Welcome to Quilt Town collection for backing.

* Rotary cut a 10 1/4 " square from low-loft batting & Insul-Bright.

Layer...

* Backing facing down...If not already used in Phase 1

* Insul-bright

* Block right side up (facing you)

Border/Binding...

* Starting at top of block...Fold border to back side leaving a 1/4" binding edge on front.

* Fold in half to secure edge on back and pin/clip to secure.

* Top stitch or quilt in the ditch on front to secure your binding...removing pins or clips as you sew.

Note...I used Aurifil 50 weight #2815 and a decorative stitch around the edges.

* Repeat same step for Bottom binding then left/right side of block.

You did it!!!

Hope you enjoy showing your trivet at your next "Boot Scootin' BBQ!"
