Well you figure I made about a dozen hot pads every 2 to 3 weeks for 12 years and that is alot of hotpads! LOL
In the beginning they were simple patterns such as 9 patch or Shoofly etc. then as they sold more and she was willing to pay more I started doing more of the small stuff and they were all a 6 x 6 grid using the 1 1/2" template to make a 6 1/2" quilt block and adding borders to make them 8 1/2".
I could do them in my sleep. :hunf: :XD:
That is why I tend to use the 6 x 6 grid mostly. It is what I am used to doing. And it fits most projects from quilt blocks to coin purses.
It is going to be strange to make a 12 1/2" quilt block. I am going from making a 6 1/2" which I have done for ever to making a 12 1/2".
