The placemat pattern was called Tango Wave by Susan Rooney. The pattern shows a 4 sided reversible placemat. I didn't have enough fabric, so I just made a simple 2 sided placemat. But the pattern does provide a paper template for the placemat.

I don't think Ryan's patterns are as hard as they look. I have been quilting for just a year now. The Ka-Bloom pattern took a lot a time and patience to cut over 370 individual pieces from 40 different batik fabrics. It will be a long time before I do another one that big. But Ryan has many smaller projects like Glacier Falls.
Thank you for all of your kind comments. It really picked me up today.

Elise, I love the beauty of the two art quilts and the uniqueness of the placemat's design and pattern. You should be very proud of your accomplishments! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
