Using mostly the same fabrics as the aforementioned placemats, I made this quilted hot pad.  I love this pattern.  It takes about a yard of fabric, because all those triangles are double folded.  This thing is thick enough to use as a trivet.  And I will, because I think it is gorgeous.  I love these colors.  Now, THIS makes me smile.  

 

 

HAPPY QUILTING!!!
