Christmas Place Mats, Part 2: The Mat
Hooray! All eight of my Christmas place mats are finished! They really were quite easy and fast.

Eight is a big bunch. 2) I wanted the outer edge to have no extra bulk in the seam. Figuring out how to go about this process quickly became an irresistible challenge. An extra step or two had to be added in order to do the job…
