I was using the oven the other day and it dawned on me that at one time I had made a hot pad trivet with a quilt block!
Do you know what a trivet is? To simplify the answer- it is a big hot pad! It is the kind of hot pad though that you set things on, not reach into the hot oven and grab pots with. The trivet helps protect the wood tables and countertops from burn spots.
Quick background from the post Hot Pad Trivet {posted back in 2008– I still quilt like that, but my lines are a lot smoother, and i use my screaming banche and not my sewing machine anymore}:
Insul-Bright Batting Insul-Bright Needlepunched Insulated Lining
The batting is the kicker here- it is insul bright so it repels the heat. Follow the instructions when using it. Some of them require another layer to help insulate.
Step 1) Layer the 3 pieces as shown {just the same a quilt sandwich really} Top layer faces up, batting in the center, bottom layer faces down.
