Potholder question.....

The last time I made potholders I used two layers of Quilter's Dream cotton. I think it was the next to thinnest one and not the thinnest. Nobody has complained. A couple of people have mentioned they'd like some new ones when I have time. I'm still using mine too. I think I made them around 2003 or maybe 2004 for Christmas. So I guess it's time for a new batch. I use 8 inch blocks for mine.

That's also what I do. Mostly start with a muslin foundation piece, put a layer of insulbright, top it with W&N and then strip piece it. After I square it, I bind it and have got a colorful and very usable hot pad. froggyintexas

I use 3 layers of W&N and a quilt block and ugly fabric on the back and quilt it all in an X, then bind it like a quilt. I use an 8" block, usually orphan or a block with a mistake.
I use cast iron cookware, so I need a thick potholder.

Thanks if you can, if not I still thank you for posting about them, maybe I can find something that isn't just a oblong hotpad that is a chore to make.
