Oh I love the Christmas ones! Those are so beautiful! Do they take long to make?

Nice!! How many of these have you done?

Riversong, they are beautiful!

Do you use invisible thread to sew them together?

Very nice Riversong.

ooooooooooo pretty. is there a tute for these?

Here ya go bev...http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-27345-1.htm I forget how many i have made,,,but i do them in the evening so i call them my PTPs Prime time Projects,,,I usually do one a night,,,and they are whipped sitched together on the backs with matching thread. i could do them on the machine much faster,but I enjoy hand work at tv time.

Beautiful!!! Each and every one!!! :D :D :D

Beautiful job. I love your fabric choices.

Thanks for posting that thread. I wasn't sure how you ladies were making those and now that I see the rulers it makes much more sense.

I love that, PTP! I'm going to steal it and use it. :wink:

Those are really beautiful.

Wow. So pretty and I love those colors. Great job.

riversong, i never excepted someone to make so many. you have made them very beautiful. thank you for posting your pictures. you have made me so proud. it's kinda neat to see someone enjoying something you have made.
keep up the good work.

Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
:D :D :D :D

I love them.

Very pretty!

I just love these every time I see them. Keep them coming everyone.

I love making candle mats. These are adorable. Thanks for sharing!

Riversong What size template did you use ? By the way they look GREAT :mrgreen:

Riversong, your mats are lovely. You are really having fun making these, aren't you?

Could you do me a favor and show how you finish the backs, please.

I just finished making a mat with the batting as the pattern and now I'm stuck on how to finish the back. I did not 'frame' my octogons, and am unsure how to finish. Thanks.

I don't know how you would do the un framed ones...Mine are put right sides together and whipstithed by hand,but you can zig zag them by machine too....

So they are reversible? I get it. Kinda slow here, never have done these octogons, but sure are fun to take along to places and with little effort.
Thanks.

How adorable! I love the 3rd one, need me address? :thumbup:

you have made such beautiful mats.
