ISO placemat pattern - feature fabric friendly

Hello - I'm looking for a pattern for placemats that allows a feature fabric to show off, without just putting a border around said fabric... free pattern, or picture of one that I can draft myself would be awesome. I have lots of feature fabrics that I'd like to make into placemats to show them off.
TYIA!

Thanks for responding so quickly, those ideas are a little too simple for what I'd like to do... I appreciate you taking the time to post the ideas!

I guess I am confused. You said you wanted feature fabric placemats. Are you saying you want placemat patterns that are blocks with larger centers or rectangles to make placemats? There are lots of ideas out there for all kind of placemats and table runners. Mr. Google is always my best friend.

These aren't free, but I like the looks of them. I found them from a duckduckgo image search.

OH, I really like the one from quiltwoman. The border would be so 4easy to create but has an elegant look. I might use that one with some of my focal fabrics, when I find them.
Thank you for posting the link.
