Dish Towel Bathmat (Mini) Tutorial

I have never done a tutorial,

but I wanted to share this really fun and easy

project that you will love!

Okay...here goes...

First, cut squares of scrap fabric in desired measurements.

Mine are 3.5" x 4".

The squares are various colors that blend together with

shades of green and red.Next, sew squares together in pairs...

Then sew the pairs to one another,

creating a strip of 8 squares in each row.

Here are my strips.

Iron flat at the seams on the back.
After that,

sew strips together,

creating a mini-quilt (kind of).

Next, grab your trusty, durable, mirco-fiber

dish towel (mine are from Costco)...

12 pack for $6.

Lay mini-quilt (right side up) flat on dish towel.

Pin securely on dish towel.

Curve edges of dish towel over the mini-quilt

and pin all edges.

Sew all edges and corners.

Then sew down the seams of squares

going horizontally. You don't have to

sew in the middle of each square.

One seam is enough.

This will secure the mini-quilt

to the dish towel.

All done!
This took me a little over an hour!
I love it...you will too.
You can make it bigger if you want
by putting an old towel on the back
and making more squares.

Happy sewing!
