Occasionally, I will buy some vintage quilt blocks. Although I enjoy making my own hexagons, it is fun to use the old blocks too. I made these potholders years ago, and I have more old blocks, so I plan to make more potholders. They make a nice hand quilting project. After I sew some batting and backing fabric to the vintage blocks with the right sides together, I leave a small opening to turn the fabric through, I clip the corners, turn the fabric through, push out the corners, sew up the opening, and iron it. Then I do my hand quilting. Very easy! They are about 8.5 inches around. Do you have any suggestions for something else to make with these blocks? I hope you enjoy looking at the old fabrics as much as I do : ) The first three pictures are the potholders and the last three pictures are the extra blocks waiting to be used!

Love the vintage look! I've got to try some hexies - never have. Cute, cute potholders!
I just passed up some vintage blocks last weekend because I wondered what to do with them. Thanks for the idea!! Great potholders!
