Miniature Quilts and Potato Bags

Hi,

Has anyone made the potato bag that you use in the microwave to make baked potatoes? What type of batting and fabric did you use to make it?

Does anyone make miniature quilts? Are they always paper pieced????? Could anyone recommend a good mini quilt magazine?

TIA

    I made 20 of them for my quilting group a couple of years ago using cotton fabrics and warm and natural batting. The report from several of the ladies was that they worked well.

    Thanks for the information.

    I made a potato bag with cotton fabric and warm 'n natural batting. I used it about 5 times and then it caught on fire in my microwave the last time. Fortunately, I caught it in time and put it out. I was just wondering if I should have used something else. I wonder what went wrong. That's why I asked the question.

    Miniature quilts - I made one from a book called "Quick Quilted Miniatures" by Darlene Zimmerman - almost none of the quilts were paperpieced. The one I made had HST that finished at 1/2". Not for the fainthearted, but fun!

    Hi! I bought a microwave baked potato bag from a craft show. It had cotton fabric & a natural cotton batting. It worked wonderfully the first 5 times that I used it & then I placed a potato in it & cooked it for 3 minutes & the corner was on fire!!! Smoke all in my microwave & kitchen. Now my microwave smells of smoke!
    This is dangerous!
