I hear you. I made one of these sets as a gift for my DDIL, and I will encourage her to use them. The other set will be used as "prize" at a party, although it has occurred to me that only a quilter would appreciate the work involved.
You are right -- a lot of work (in these pieced potholders) for something that will get dirty and laundered frequently. Probably best to use cute fabric and minimal piecing.
