I created my pattern from the one I received, it doesn't have a binding on it. It is a sew and turn-inside-out method, although it could easily be done with a binding. I will create a PDF tutorial (with printable pattern) for it and post it in the tutorial section.

And thank you for the compliments.

This set was a little tight on my husbands hands but said he liked the idea and thought they would be handy for things coming out of the microwave as well. I am going to have to make him a set. He requested flannel but I personally don't think flannel is a good options but I may try it and see how it turns out. I am thinking jean material would be good too. So many ideas. My next attempt is going to be the fabric bowls.

Thank you all for your compliments. I love wrapping with fat quarters for quilty swaps. I usually buy the fabric by the yard or two so I have some left over for me. My favorite of the three I used for this swap is this poinsettia fabric.

Thank you for the link! Thanks also for posting your photos. I know my sister-in-laws and friends and ME would love to have these handy potholders. I get excited just thinking about making one. Great way to use small scraps from your stash....or maybe a selvage pot holder for a quilty friend. Happy Thanksgiving!
