Susan, the quilt measured about 40" x 53". This panto is pretty dense and even at the top speed it was very slow, so it took me about 45 minutes to stitch each 10" x 53" pass.

Well, almost half the year is finished already, and here is my second finished project.

It was made with my sister when I visited her last month. We limited ourselves to just using scraps from her stash, so even the backing had to be pieced. It will go to a new mother in her church.
I quilted it when I got home on my HandiQuilter with a ProStitcher (computer). I used a digital pantograph called Modern Maze: http://www.digitechpatterns.com/product_p/kwpanto11.htm

idaho OFFLINE Posts: 2531 Thank you received: 183	When I do hot pads I use all cotton or 80-20 scraps ..prob'ly bamboo and wool would work, too I've not used them...what fun project !& "chenille" ones wouldn't need filling at all !! I'm sure you can get instruction on the web !

I am curious - has anyone made quilted hot pads before? I was going to try it. It says use 2 layers of batting and 1 of insul bright. What kind of batting did you use? Should it be cotton? Didn't know if polyester could withstand the heat. I know I want something that is thin.

Thanks for any suggestions. I have about 6 people in my department at work and it gets expensive getting them all something at Christmas so I thought I could start now and make hot pads for them.

Don't quite see her starting her own quilt yet, but she's helping me on mine Yes, it is great how animals can figure out what is theirs so matter of factory. They certainly know how to find the best spots.
