It's not exactly a quick project, but I think they make a great gift. I made several pairs of these as gifts last year for Christmas and they went over pretty well. I love how you can just use scrap fabric or fat quarters and make each pair unique. I've upgraded them this year too.

I bought a fat quarter bundle and choose 3 of the fat quarters to make these pot holders. One I used to make bias tape and the other two I used to cut pieces for the potholders.
