    I am almost embarassed to show all of you my mom's placemats that I've made for her. I'm not a skilled quilter and this was my first attempt outside the SITD. Hopefully there aren't any quilt police out there. :lol: Want honest feedback on what I could have done better. Sorry for the bad photography and poor lighting. Thanks in advance.

    I think it looks great. The best thing about quilting is the sky is the limit. We each see things differently and therefore every quilt, placemat, or what ever is unique.

    Give yourself a pat on the back, I would put them on my table any day!

    Personally I think they are pretty cool looking. I, too, would use them on my table, in a heartbeat!

    They look great, your mother will smile everytime she uses them. You will find the more you quilt you will do better each time. I made my nephew some placemats, I didn't think they were good enough to give. I showed them to my sister. She wanted to know where my mistakes were. I couldm't find them for the life of me. We both sat there and laughed. When I sew I want everything perfect, my sister enjoys it and does not care about her mistakes, she just wants to get it done. We drive each other crazy when it comes to quilting. She always tells me I could make five or six quilts with all the tearing apart I do. We each enjoy quilting in a different way.
