UPDATED: So I didn't like the way the squared corners were, so I redesigned the mat and this one has Insul-Bright in it for hot items...I like it much better...How about you, Cuties...which one do you prefer?

This was a Challenge for my digitizing class in shading...I digitized this poinsettia and then decided it should be an ITH quilted table topper, so I digitized the table mat to be stipple quilted through and finished on the back...I also did the bow detail on the ends...I am pleased with the results, but I think next time, I will double up on the batting or use insul-bright for a hot pad. I have used some silver metallic in the poinsettia and leaves but it does not show as well in the photo as it does in person...I took the angle shot to see it better...it is 8x12 and done in one hooping...all finished in-the-hoop.

A great challenge, and you met it so well. In fact you exceeded what was asked by your teacher, and challenged yourself to see how far you could go. Lovely design, beautifully done.

Can't decide really which one is nicer. I think perhaps the rounded edges might just win the competition. They are both so nice. You are doing very well with your classes.

I'm speechless. I wish I could design something so beautiful . In the last photograph is great to see what beautiful embroidery threads you have used . Very very nice. Congratulations.
My favorite is the 1st table topper.

I like them both. I think it all depends on the way you use it. I digitised one with picture #4 shape which I called Granny's tray as my gran had a tea tray just like that. And for my own oval tray I made an oval mat.
Your flower design is delightful and so is the quilting. Beautiful work!
