Quilted Table Mats....

I aquired a new table and chair set and needed some new table mats to protect it.  Rather than buy mats I decided to make my own.



To start off I sewed pieces of material edge to edge, about an inch wide and then wove them together.  Here I have secured them using pins. 



 

I tacked all the pieces together then added wadding and backing.  I stitched the pieces together going across, therefore ensuring that all the pieces were stitched together.





Finally I hand sewed the borders.  The pattern is very effective and will be thick enough to protect my table from hot plates.






I now have coasters to make to match
