After pinning stitch around the outer edge of your hot pad going through all four layers. Leave an opening on one side large enough to turn your hot pad pretty side out. Clip corners, and trim seams making sure not to cut your stitches. Then turn your hot pad pretty side out. At this point if you want your hot pad to have the scent of fall, add 1 teaspoon of whole cloves inside your hot pad.

Your Quilted Autumn Scented Pumpkin Hot Pad is now finished! To keep the hot pad scented from year to year, store in a plastic bag when not in use.
