Several weeks back, I showed this before it was quilted and before the binding was on it. The focus fabric is really cute teapots (look closer by enlarging) that was given to me by a blogging friend who lives nearby. I finished it on the weekend and love how it looks as an insulated mat for a teapot (or any hot dish or pan). The quilting is just simple quilt-in-the-ditch. I used Insulbrite and also batting, as recommended. Here are three pictures of it finished. The second one shows the paisley print on the reverse side...which I like, too. The 4 squares on the main side of the piece were done with paper-piecing...which you know I enjoy doing.
NOW.......a notice I'm keeping on the blog for many days this month. Beginning on Wed., Aug. 12 and lasting through Sunday, Aug. 23, I won't be able to follow blogs very often and will rarely be able to reply to comments on my blog. I will be in the midst of caring fulltime for two of the grandkids. I'll pre-schedule most of the posts here and will also pop in a few "current" ones with photos of the kids, I'm sure. I just want all of you to understand why I won't be replying very often to you....don't want you to think for even a minute that I have lost interest or don't care, because you know I really enjoy all of your blogs and your comments here, too. I will just be too busy to do much online!!! (This Grammy will need her sleep as soon as the kids are in bed each night, I'm sure.....LOL)

Love the hot mat,gave me an idea as I bought a whole package of the insulbrite for the potholders. I Love the tea set, is it a mini set? its adorable
That quilt is just adorable. That is the size I should do, otherwise I just fill my cupboards with UFOs.
Have fun with the kids.
Enjoy your time with your grandkids. It's precious time.
The Teapot quilt is adorable. But don't you just hate to cover it up with the tea things?
Pat the quilt came out beautiful! You did an awesome job.
Love the way the sugar and creamer fit so nicely on those pretty squares. Perfect for a tea party!
Very lovely table topper. Enjoy your grandkids :-) And get some rest!
Oooo pretty!!! I need to make some stuff like that. Enjoy the time with the grandkids, maybe you can borrow some of their energy LOL.

What a cute mat for your teapot. And what a good idea. I think I'll make one that covers the whole center section of my table so I don't have to put down several hot pads to protect the table under each dish. Enjoy the time with your grandkids!
Ohhh, do I love this mat ... the colors are wonderful. TTFN ~Marydon

Busy here as well just the way life is at times.
You don't owe any explanations.
Enjoy those kids but try to rest some too!!!!!!
Your quilt is adorable! And reversible too! I love, love, love the last pic with the tea pot and cups on it. Enjoy your time with the little grand-girls :^)

Oh Pat what a great little quilt. You did a great job and I love that fabric. And you have grands visiting......take plenty of pictures. Those little cuties grow up so quickly. Take care.
Loverly, Pat! I am really liking that teapot, too! Have fun with the grandkids. Sneak in a nap and have Grandpa entertain them for a bit. :-)
Very pretty! I think it's so nice a decorative piece, but how cool is it that you can actually use it!
