Placemat Quilting Design

I am working on a set of placemats and am stumped on the center to quilt this rectangle. I am not a good FMQ so something straight line or simple would work for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks:eek:

Pretty placemat! I like to straight line quilt placemats so they lay nice and flat on my table. I find anything with scrolls or curves tend to stretch the fabric a bit and I get ripple along the edges. I might crosshatch (on the diagonal) on the center part following the angled corners. I then might straight line stitch out from the center at 1/2 inch intervals in repeated rows.

I think some wavy lines would look nice. Your placement is really pretty.

I would use my walking foot on the straight lines but do what works for you.

Thank you Tartan and Doggramma for your suggestions. This will be tomorrow night's project. Everyone is so helpful. So glad I found this board:D
|
Just want to say I really like your placemat shape and the fabrics!
|
Please show us when you're done

This is something I did a couple of years ago. I wonder if you could find some shape to go with the theme of the placemat and draw it onto some parchement paper.

I really like Tartan idea. Crosshatching will give the placemats strength and durability.
