Great hot pad! What I do is quilt the front, add the metallic hot pad stuff, then place a coordinating back onto the back. I don't quilt thru the hot pad fabric. They are so small, the binding prevents the backing from sliding around.

I look at it this way.....I will not be looking at the back so much as the front so I do not worry about it. I think it came out great. The wine glasses and grapes are CUTE.

I like your pad as is, but, if you do not want stitching to show on the back...Quilt only the top and batting together.
Add backing and stitch around the edge I/8 inch from the edge. Proceed with your binding. I have done this on Runners when I do not want the stitching to show.
