Sew a Scrappy Potholder/Trivet - Quilt as you go

In this very first episode of the Tea Time Sewing, I'd like to share this cute and easy potholder/trivet project using your scraps. I love potholders, and  can't never get enough of them . They brighten up your kitchen, and will make a great gift as well. We will sew this potholder with the "quilt as you" method, where we will piece the fabrics directly on the batting.
