Thanks for the kind words! But I can always point out my mistakes. And there are plenty of them.

One time I accidently cut a small hole in a block on one corner. I was so aggravated!! The hotpad was completely done!! I took a small triangle folded it to fit and appliqued it on over the original triangle. I used a blind stitch and hid the thread but I am always thinking is it going to fall apart when someone washes it?

I have the hardest time getting the squares to stay square when I use square blocks in the corners of the border! When I turn the hotpad right side out and quilt it down I always get seams along the squares that get pulled out of a straight line no matter how hard I try to keep it straight!!
It can be very frustrating!

If you look at one of them in the pictures you will see it is not straight at all.
