place mat done - photos

I finished one out of four place mats. The rest will be pretty much identical, except for the randomness of the design, obviously.


The owner of the quilting shop told me I should use 100% quality cotton thread for quilting, and I can't get that in the store near me. I preferred to have quilted using a matching brown thread, but since I had none, I went for my natural-cotton colored thread (cream / off-white).


I think the brown thread and a tighter quilting design (stippling) would have given a prettier result.


Overall I like the colors. I think it might be a bit too busy, but nevertheless I'm content with it, I guess. I will finish the other three and form my opinion after putting them aside for a couple of days...

What do you think?

I love the colors too! You are a pro at binding the edges. Your corners are perfect! I'm not so good yet.....;-)
