You did a great job...........I have a set of templates for you, I will PM you-

Love the dresden plate and the octagonal setting. How on earth did you do that setting?

Sew pretty. You did a fantastic job.

beautiful..Joanne.com has a free shipping code EYD348..no mininum....might find the template you need...3 days only

Thank you ladyshuffler and I replied to your PM.

marcias--I really don't know how to explain what I did. I made my plate first and then folded a piece of newspaper so I could cut out the octagon shape that looked good with the plate and then added the boarders. I'm not real good with everything on this board (am still learning) but I think there is a tutorial for how to make the octagon shape on here. Maybe someone can point you in the right direction. I have found out one thing about this board. Everyone is VERY helpful and "Thank You" for that.

Thank You all for your very kind remarks--went to town today and was able to get some binding to finish the mat waiting for it and will post a picture as soon as that is done.

Love the colors. I love Christmas colors and all that goes with it.

No need to purchase now...You could make something else.
