I am almost embarassed to show all of you my mom's placemats that I've made for her. I'm not a skilled quilter and this was my first attempt outside the SITD. Hopefully there aren't any quilt police out there. :lol: Want honest feedback on what I could have done better. Sorry for the bad photography and poor lighting. Thanks in advance.

I think they are awesome

Well, I think they are very pretty, and I'm sure your Mom will love them!
Thanks for sharing them with us! :thumbup:

You are braver than I am, and I think it looks just fine. I am still just the SID quilter. Love the color combo.

Love the scallops!

The only thing I think you should do is NOT APOLOGIZE!!! They look great!!!

Love the clam shell quilting! Can't go wrong with blue in my book!:) Good job:):):)

I think you did a beautiful job! Maybe continue the quilting all the way to both ends (top and bottom). But I love your colors, and you did a great job with your blocks! They are wonderful!

I really like these. Rail fence is one of my favorite patterns. You did well.

They look great, I am sure Mom will love them.
Your quilting looks good, clamshell is hard to do.

I think they turned out beautifully. With practice comes the ease of going outside your comfort zone.

Don't understand what your problem is ?? It's great just the way it is !

The place mats are very nice. I love the colors, and the pattern. You did very nice work.

Your mom is going to love them. I know I do. Now you've made me want to make some placemats.

Don't change a thing --- your Mom is going to LOVE them! :D :thumbup:

It's beautiful! You did a great job! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
