Quilted Toaster Oven Cozy

My mom has this small toaster oven in her kitchen that she uses all the time. She usually has a few items on top of the toaster oven, but don't you worry... she always removes everything before turning on the oven. I decided to make her this simple quilt to go on top of the toast oven. I mean, come on! Have you seen the top of any toaster over? It's very boring! I am just looking for every opportunity to quilt for things around the house.

I used all of the blue and green fabric from my new Denyse Schmidt's collection. I love the way this came out!

The finished size measures 8" x 14", it sits perfectly over the toast oven. I cut each square into 2.5" with 0.25" seam allowance, the long strips measure about 1" in height and 18" across. 


I plan to visit Britex Fabrics in San Francisco tomorrow. This is one of the largest fabric store on the west coast and has been around for more than 50 years. I cannot believe that I haven't been! It's about time I visit them. I will take some good pictures for you. 

By the way, thanks to those of you who continue to support my blog by leaving my comments and complimenting my work. I really appreciate every comment from you. Thank you! :)
