I'm going to try to write a full-fledged PDF tutorial in the next few days.
Great would love to see it especially in the pdf so I can print it out. Thank you

My quilting friend made a set with the holidays as well. They turned out really cute...and practical.

OMG, I just finally got it. Went back and re-read and saw that she had changed fabric mid-stream of her tutorial and that is what messed me up. I kept looking at the pictures getting more and more confused. I am going to make a small one to use as a hot plate or something just to try out.

I guess no batting is needed for the place mats being it ends up four layers. But I do like padded mats. Any thoughts?

I made a set of 6 of these for my DDIL. One side red, one side green, one side yellow flowered and the fourth side hot air balloons with a blue background for the grandkids. My DDIL and DS went crazy.

They are a bit tricky to get "just right" at the middle part, but after you do one or two and get the knack, they go fast.

Have fun!!!

Did you use any kind of padding or interfacing?

No, and they were fine, but next time I will try the lightest weight fuseable that I can find just for a tad bit more body.

When that happens to me, I just copy and paste to word. The pictures usually won't copy with the printed directions. So copy, paste the instructions, then copy picture and paste. Hope that helps.
