Show & Tell - QAYG Potholder

I finished the quilt top for Sophia's quilt. I still have to cut the batting and trim the backing and then it will be ready to longarm it when I have the opportunity to get to Sparrow Studioz.

I was in the city on Friday and picked up some Christmas fabric and some Insul Bright so that I can make some hot potholders. Here's the first one:

I more or less followed the instructions found here: Make an Easy Potholder. It's pretty straightforward. Here's the back:

I actually used a glitter thread in the bobbin, but you can't really tell from this picture. I stitched the binding down with a snowflake design.

Now it's your turn to share. Here's my button:
