I had four too many squares left over from the Fan Quilt so here is
what I spent the morning doing. The blue one shows the back pocket and
is a companion to the single one shown.
It was speed sewing at it's best. Great fun and my wife loved them.
She put away the other pads that we had been using and hung these up
on the stove righ away without a monemts hesitation.

Nicely done! What do you use inside to resist heat? I've thought of making
some... but batting isn't a good insulator. What do you recommend?

I cut up the clean parts of the ironing board cover. Just remember the more
'quilting' you do thru all the layers the more holes you put into the lining

An older set that I did I used Poly batting and they did not insulate
very well. This time I used 100% premium Cotton that was left over
from the quilt. I doubled it and on the inside of the pocket on the
back I used Poly batting. That makes four layers of cloth, 2
thicknesses of Cotton and one thickness of poly batting. Normally,
when using the hot pad with your hand inside the pocket it will handle
up to the hottest bowls right out of the oven. For those times that it
is just to hot to hold, use the hot pad without your hand in the
pocket and just use the whole pad to grasp the item. I imagine you
could cut up some old bath towels to use as filler if you are very
heat sensitive as that would surely stop the heat transfer..

I was wondering the same thing, Kate. My next project is a kitchen set for a
friend. Blender cover, tab top hand towels and hot pads. I was going to use
some face cloths that have gone raggedy on the edges but still good in the
middle, four layers thick since I know most of their cooking is done in cast
iron...mucho-hot-O! Would that work? You really do lovely work, John, very
nice indeed!
