I don't spend a lot of time on hot pads. I usually just hit the string box and sew strip sets, slice them up, and sew them back together in an offset manner. I use double layers of W&N batting scraps or some old terry towels, with a layer of the silver heat resistant fabric stuff on the back or in the middle. I use the birthing method to finish so I don't have to waste time binding. A simple topstitch around the edges sets it off nicely, and a little ditch quilting around a few of the patches to hold it together. I pass them out to the family, like candy ;-)

Roolen had a wonderful tutorial I used some time ago for some fall leaves pot holder. I am sorry I don't have it on this computer. But, I am sure if you search this site for her name, her link is with her posts.
