and add about a 1/2 cup to the block by using a funnel and adding
equal portions of the 1/2 cup to each pocket. This should fill your

folded in and this will seal the trivet Turning the block to the
bottom edge and moving filling towards opposite edge stitch along
the edge so that the top and bottom of your trivet have the same
stitching and no one will notice that the top edge was not slip
stitched shut. It will look like it is part of the design.
