They look wonderful. I too would love a copy of the pattern.
My sister is turning 80yrs on July 10th and asked me to make her a set of place-mats she saw in a magazine while on holiday in Australia. The magazine is 9 yrs old & she was given it to bring back to me. I have made two already in the colour blue she requested, but they turn out smaller than is photographed, and would fit a small round plate. She has seen them & is happy with them, & I have four more to make.
I have also made a set of 6 coasters from another free pattern in blue, green & orange-centred flowers which look
great. I have also made 6 variegated napkin ring holders
with buttons which I am happy with, however your place-mats
look extra nice, being much larger, for larger dinner plates
and a nice shape.
With the round ones you are doing a lot of counting to gradually increase the size but without making "tracks"
which is usually allowed when making berets & hats.
With your pattern, is there a great deal of counting for
increases, or did you find the pattern very easy to do.
If I could trial the pattern & am happy with it, I would
consider replacing the mats I have done, & turn them into
pot stands for other hot dishes. Decisions, decisions, and
the birthday date is looming on the horizon.
Your input would help me, especially a copy of the pattern.
Thanks for listening,
Moisey
