These Hexie Hot Pads are a Breeze to Make
Instructions are Included for a Version with Pieced Triangles!
Leftover charm squares quickly combine to make these charming hot pads. They’re so easy to make that you’ll have a set completed before you know it. They make wonderful gifts, too, so make extra while you’re at it.
Select six 5″ charm squares that work well together for each hot pad. Make two the same for a set, or make them different with some overlapping fabrics to tie them together. For example, use the same border with different sets of triangles.
The hot pads are constructed in a modified quilt-as-you-go method. Insul-Bright is used for the batting, making them heatproof. The hot pads are turned so there’s no binding to deal with. Easy!

While you can make this with a hand-made template, a 60-degree ruler will speed construction.
Designer Sherri K. Falls from Little Bits of This & That also includes instructions for making hot pads from pieced two-color triangles. Once you understand the construction process, you can easily enlarge the hot pads into table toppers or placemats, giving the triangles as many pieced sections as you want.
