Attach Heart

Place the pattern piece onto the wrong side of the blue heart. Your heart fabric will extend 1/4" beyond the pattern piece all the way around. Clip heart where necessary. Iron under the edges of the heart, using the pattern edges to assist you in creating nice curves. Remove paper; hand applique the heart into place on the basket.

Assemble Pot Holder

Square down your finished block to 9.5" x 9.5" (this means that you even up your block to be exactly square).

If you have not done so yet, cut a piece of backing to be 9.5" x 9.5" (white).
OR use therma flec scorch resistant cloth as backing.

Layer your backing wrong side up, then your batting, then the insulation, then another layer of batting, then the quilt block top right side up. Baste the three layers together.

Cut binding into 1 3/4" wide strips; stitch binding pieces to form long enough binding to go all the way around your pot holder, plus about 12" extra. Iron under 1/4" on one long side of binding. Stitch it around the outer edge, making mitered corners. When, finished, trim off unused binding, leaving a "tail" that is about 5". Iron under both sides of binding, plus end. Refer to photos below.

  

Stitch the open edge of the tail closed. Refer to photo below.

Twist the tail into a loop and hand or machine stitch onto back of pot holder. This forms the hanger.
