great idea, love them all

Thanks for sharing your great hot pads! :) I'm already thinking of all the fabrics in my stash that could be used to make some!

Nice hotpads.

Very nice...

very pretty hot pads... I'm sure she will be thrilled.

Bias binding of course? Yours or store bought or both?

Actually, not bias binding. I've done them both ways (bias and straight) and found no advantage to the bias. The pad is 10.5" in diameter, so one 2.5" wide WOF cut will bind one pad with a small leftover. I have also, in the past, pieced the binding strips, so I could use smaller scraps.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

Those are great. Going to make some too. Nice for gifts.

really cute!

Great gift idea!
