It's meant to be a pot holder/trivet, but I don't think my mom ever used it. It made me smile; one, because it was made by a person very dear to me and two, because the folding technique she used (I'm guessing 45-50 years ago) is still going strong. Plus, it's something she made by hand and that just makes it all the more special. Like she's giving it to me, even though she has been gone for 30 years.
And just to show how quilting is truly timeless, I received a beautiful pillow made with the same technique just last year from Marika.
I guess what goes around comes around! And since both the creators of these lovely quilted gifts designed with a dominant red, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
