Whenever I can get the opportunity to make something with cathedral windows, well I am just all over it.
Last year I made a cathedral windows trivet for Christmas and I wanted to make a few more to gift.
On a shopping trip recently, I saw this new Christmas fabric called Wintergrafix. It really looks more like winter not Christmas. I made these 2 trivets with it and I am quite pleased because they can be used pretty much all winter. The inside has insulite like a potholder would so it can be used as a hot pad.
I have included the link on my cathedral windows tutorial last November.
If you are interested in making this trivet, you would need to cut out 48-2.5 inch squares. Connect them as stated in the tutorial and complete it like a mini quilt except you will add insulite instead of batting. Add a back, and bind.

Those are so cute...
They are lovely, and what a good idea to make them into a mini quilt.

I need to look at this tutorial. If you say you make cathedral windows a lot, I'm thinking you must have found a way to make them that isn't a real pain. LOL
The trivets are so pretty!
Those are beautiful.......love em
I also need to check out your tutorial. I'd love to do a cathedral windows journal cover!
I love any of Jason Yenter's fabrics. The wintergrafix looks great in a cathedral windows trivet.
Beautiful...I still haven't made the cathedral windows....it is on the to do list. I have looked over your tutorial, and it is great!
Now if these just aren't the cutest little gifties! I'll have to take a look at your tutorial...how long do they take to make? Time for me is of the essence.
I've been wanting to try cathedral windows. This is a perfect small project!
These are so pretty, I don't know if I could use them as trivets to set anything on! Love the new fabric!
Love the fabric! These are too nice for Trivets - need to be a kitchen decoration. Great gifts Betsy!
How cool are those trivets.
Those are too pretty to actually use as hot pads. I must look at the tutorial - I've always admired that technique.
Betsy...what awesome trivets...
