They were like potholders sort of---used the 0 (squared on the corners) as the shape. I appliqued the red letter itself onto a white background and then appliqued the buckeye nut and leaves on it. Put insulbright on right side of the 0 with the silver part facing away from the 0 then put on the backing---stitched around leaving an opening for turning--turned and hand stitched it closed--this put the insulbright near the top facing the back of the 0---then quilted in the ditch around the outside and inside the 0. I made 35 of them and my daughter & I were lucky that we actually got one each to keep. I will locate it by this weekend and post a picture. You could easily enlarge for placemats or reduce even more for coasters. Hers were about 10 inches tall and 6 inches wide. We put them under the lit candle holders because we had plastic tableclothes for safety.
