I made up the front of the placemat using precut squares from my stash. I incorporated four flying geese into the design. I added the little green ends to the tie so you will always know which placemat it is without having to untie it so everyone can easily find their favorite. I incorporated the zipper easily by adding tabs on each end. I cut the backing about 3/4" bigger on all sides than the front, laid the front over it and stitched the two together on the left hand side of the zipper which creates the pocket. I added a few more lines of stitching to the left to quilt the two piece to each other. I then folded over the backing to the front and stitched it. I added the tie to the back in the seam on the left hand side. I am looking forward to making some unique picnic placemat for our merchandise table at our Gramma Link Africa events and for prizes at our summer family reunion. Therese
