What to do with left over hst's?

I had all these left over hst's, and decided I wanted to make something with them.

These were also left over from my "Jack in the pulpit" quilt.

I wanted to make a little project.

Something that could be done in an hour or so.

So, I decided to make potholders.

So, I laid out my hst's until I had a pattern that I liked.

Then I sewed it all together until I had my block.

Then, I got another piece of fabric for the backing that was about an inch bigger all around. I made my quilt sandwich: backing, 2 layers of insulating batting (can't remember the name) and then my block.

Then, I quilted it, and put the binding on.

And Voilà!!

Now, I have a cute little potholder.

I made another one too.

But I used some other scraps as well.

Here it is.

And together, they make a cute pair.

I hope you like them!!

What do you do with your left over hst's?
