[quote=hannajo]I like it! Out of curiosity, did you use regular batting? I'm working on place mats myself.

Hannajo....I just used a thin polyester batting as I didn't want them to be too thick.

I want to thank everyone for their compliments and encouragement. I just see all the beautiful work that everyone on this board does and I hope someday that I'm half as good. I know...practice, practice, practice.

Thank you for the compliment. My dog is our BIG baby. He's a Great Pyrenes and right now only weighs 162. In the winter, he'll get close to 200 lbs. Fills up the backseat of the car. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Boy... For the great work and effort from the heart you sure do doubt yourself. Turn each of those around. 'Check out the effort I put into a loving gift for my mom.' ...and... 'I am a new quilter giving it my best'... and maybe... 'check out the photos'.
You did a great job. My first quilts were strip quilts, Trip Around the World to be exact, and they didn't come out quite this good. Kudos to you!!!

Thank you Denise for the "pep" talk. I guess I've always been a doubting tom when it came to my abilities. You're all great at encouraging me.
