Making pot holders

[rhianna813]

So I thought I'd practice my quilting skills by making some pot holders. Is there any special batting that needs to be used for pot holders?

I can't say for sure...

But I made some quilted squares for the seat of our old wooden high chair with one layer of Warm and Natural batting.  Now that DD is done with the high chair, I snipped off the ties and they work great as pot holders.  I think a couple layers of batting would make them even better though.

I have actually used some old tea towels weren't pretty any more for batting.  I like to be eco-friendly when I can.
