The fabrics are a big hit! And to think, I second guessed myself in the store....but I kept coming back to the flowered fabric. I hope the person who will be getting them will agree. I think she will. :).

Thanks everyone!

Hello, and welcome to the board. You did a beautiful job matching the points, and in you fabric choice.

I have that fabric, just love it. Your work is really great!!!!

Just think of it, as each placemat is a quilt ..... a small one!
You go thru the process, just the same as a full sized quilt.
Yes, you can bring the fabric to the front or do a separate binding.
For me, I prefer the separate binding, as it gives a far nicer finish ... yes, that's only IMHO!!

Your fabrics are pretty and I am sure your intended recipient will be quite impressed with your choices and work!!

As you already have gotten good advice on quilting, just wanted to say your placements look great and welcome!!

Welcome to the board, you did really wll.

Quilting is used to put the back, batting and top together in a permanent manner. You have done a great job

I frequently to placemats - I sandwich and pin them, then straight-line quilt diagonally. Then I bind them, as I would a quilt. It makes them reversible, too. Have fun!

Great job, love the fabric and welcome to the board:)
