A Christensen Creations “Platter Pad” is a hot pad on steroids–fully 12″ square. With doubled cotton batting, it’s big and thick enough for a large hot dish or platter. However, each pattern also comes with instructions to make a 10″ or 8″ hot pad as well. Though small, these “Petites on Point” are made exactly like miniature quilts, complete with quilting and binding. They hang on the wall beautifully and make wonderful gifts as they are! On the other hand, the designs can be used for quilt blocks rather than hot pads.
