I am almost embarassed to show all of you my mom's placemats that I've made for her. I'm not a skilled quilter and this was my first attempt outside the SITD. Hopefully there aren't any quilt police out there. :lol: Want honest feedback on what I could have done better. Sorry for the bad photography and poor lighting. Thanks in advance.

You are braver than I am, and I think it looks just fine. I am still just the SID quilter. Love the color combo.

I think you did a beautiful job! Maybe continue the quilting all the way to both ends (top and bottom). But I love your colors, and you did a great job with your blocks! They are wonderful!

I really like these. Rail fence is one of my favorite patterns. You did well.

They look great, I am sure Mom will love them.
Your quilting looks good, clamshell is hard to do.
