I had an old tie from something like a dress that was the cutest red and white polka dot fabric and I took it apart and made it into this hot pad. :)
I hand pieced, hand quilted, and did a blanket stitch around the edge. My fingers are a bit sore as I still haven't mastered using a thimble!
I'm pretty thrilled with how it turned out. I'll be putting it in my etsy shop soon.
