I make any 12 inch block I like. Then I add a one -two inch border all around the block. Then I add a pieced border on the outside on the sides of flying geese or something eye catching. The place mat ends up being (with 1 inch top/bottom and 1 +2 on the sides) 13 1/2 by 17, the size of most place mats.

I sometimes use the same fabric or color for the 1 inch border for all 4 to coordinate.
I don't have EQ and I gave the last set to my mom for Christmas,
so
here are the elements and you'll have to sort of use your imagination

make the colors coordinate
yes, these are flying geese. Thanks!
