Here's what I did.I put the polka dot around this set of potholders so they would all look alike.
On this batch, I did the envelope style turning as suggested by Nancy. Unfortunately, the last one I layered wrong so the backing fabric is wrong side out! Looks like I have one for me! When I make more this week, I'll simple add another to be made.
Do you ever make something then end up liking the back more than the pieced front? I really like the retro salt and pepper shakers that are on the back of the first set of potholders. :) I would probably use them with this side up.

I think you meant to link to me in your post about the envelope turning....
In any event, they turned out nice.
Sorry Nancy! I plugged in the correct link (I hope!)
I really like that polkadot binding! So cheery!
i know what you mean about sometimes liking the back more than the front...i used that same cute polka dot as binding this weekend. great minds think alike...right!
Pot Holders--great idea! I want to do some "fun" sewing for Christmas, and I like the idea of it being useful too!
Maybe we aren't using up a lot of stash this way, but we ARE having fun!! Love those polka dots!
I love, love, love the pot holders.
I love your potholders! They are gorgeous!
