Mary and others,
i used this youtube video

it appears to be based on this coaster design

I guess the 10" size is for those precut fabric packs out now. I used 9 1/2" because i have a cutting square that big and am too lazy to use a larger square to cut the 10" size. if i could find a 9" one i'd use that instead. my mil loved her everyday ones and my sil loved hers too. along with her vanilla frappe fingerless mitts i made her.
and while we are on potholders here is a link to 28+ so you will have it all in one place to check out in the future.

have a marvelous day all
