TOOOO CUTE!!!!! Have you made microwave fabric bowls. They ware like a big potholder but are cupid so bowls will fit in in them. There is a "new" batting to be used in them that is 100% cotton. W/W has some poly in it so I was told by LFS.

They are 10.5" in diameter (I drew around a dinner plate). I layered them as follows: top fabric, flannel, Insulbrite, flannel, bottom fabric. I have used cotton batting instead of flannel sometimes--just depends what I have scraps of.
Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

these are soo pretty. i use a lot of scraps & am gifted with huge bags of scraps from friends. i don't use novelty prints in my quilts & have not been able to come up w good use for some of the beautifully colored image fabrics of farm scenes, chickens etc. now i know! we use over sized hot pads to hold our plates in our quite informal style of eating dinner in front of the tv the last few years. visitors seem to think we've hit on a great idea. so ...they'll be getting some very pretty hot plate mats! thank you for this great idea!
