Finally made these oven mitts that I have been wanting for a long time. Not at all pleased with the result. Cut the long pieces 8 x 24. Next time would cut a couple of inches longer and maybe an inch less in the width. The pockets were 8 x 6.5. Batting was two layers between the long pieces and one between the smaller pieces. Used binding around the edges. Was very thick so difficult to put the binding on properly. Cut the binding 2" and folded. Directions called to cut the rounded corners and then quilt the long pieces. Would sew everything together first and then cut the corners, would make it much neater that way.
Overall, not bad for a first try. Will use it for a while and see if there would be any other changes I would make.
