If it's just to use up a sample block I might just use left over batting. For mats for hot pots to rest on I would probably use an insulated product.
I can feed my addiction at the Fabric Depot here in Portland. (For those of you who are not from the Pacific NW...Fabric Depot is 1 1/2 acres of fabric, bridal, home dec, needle craft and more of heavenly things. They do have an on line site.)

I'm gonna start on some tomorrow. Got the chores all out of the way today. Tomorrow is play day! I want to make a couple for every one of my female relatives for Christmas. They look like they'd be fun to work on. I've got so many odds 'n ends of small fabric pieces that'll work well with them. I also bought a big batch of insulbrite once, a couple of years ago when it was on sale. Now I'll get to use it up.
