Agnes, they're very pretty! I love the fabrics you chose. Cotton theory is a quilt as you go method, right?

Really, really pretty!

Donna

Very Pretty!! I tried to imagine them in my house and somehow they just kept going on the floor:) I could never have something so beautiful on my table with my three boys...LOL (or should I say my three monkeys).

Lynette

Those are simply gorgeous...If you don't mind me asking, do you have a pattern or a link?

Curious too, I found something here:

Here is a link that might be useful: What is Cotton Theory?

Lynette, I have 2 cats so everything has to be washable...as soon as you put out something pretty one of them throws up on it! :)

Donna

Oh !! I love them!!
Thanks for the link

I borrowed her book (Betty Cotton) from the library. I wouldn't dream of making a quilt with this technique. It is a quilt as you go method but a little "much" for me. The trivets were ideal and simple to make with this method.

This is a good idea for birthday gifts or for Christmas too .
Will look into it . Looks like something I would enjoy doing .
betty

Someday I'll try that...I have her video and saw her at a show.

The piece comes out fairly stiff I think. I think it'd be great for throw rugs, trivets & placemats, but definitely not cuddly for a quilt!

Agnes, yours are lovely! The fabric just seems to scream French Country!

Agnes,
I love the material. I agree with you about making a quilt, but your trivet and placemats are beautiful.
Rosa

Really beautiful work

Agnes, I love the fabric. Roses are my favorite. Colleen

Those are gorgeous and I love your fabric choices just beautiful!

Mayme

Just beautiful!! Great job!

How pretty!!! Love your fabric choices.

Thanks for the laugh, Donna (msmeow)!

Nice job! Love the colors.

Pretty! They also coordinate well with the red dish that the plant is in. :D

Thank you for posting your pix. I've been wanting to make some pretty placemats for months and months now. I have big roses fabric but I never thot of using roses!!! Yours are beautiful and just the idea I was looking for.
Bon

Agnes,
Those surely are beautiful!Are you sure they match your decor? Cause I'm sure they would match mine!! Great job!

Agnes,
It looks like you used two fabrics on the place mat? Is it reversible? The thing I find so difficult, is that she uses so many fabrics. I have so much trouble choosing so many fabrics. It looks like you used three fabrics in your trivet? I really like yours!

I like that sculptured look on the trivet, and the fabrics are beautiful. The idea is fascinating, too, but probably too much for me to tackle in something as big as a quilt. Now, a pot-holder would be different.

Do you think she changed her name? Betty Cotton!
Beautiful. I'll try the library for the book. Jill

Nope, she married Jack Cotton!!! She said her friends teased her about marrying him for his name!! I guess she probably has to address this issue in every class!!

I used 4 different fabrics on the trivet. They were left over from a quilt so they matched easily.. My placemat is not reversible but the pattern did give directions for reversible. I'm sorry I didnt do it. The trivet, also, could be reverible but I opted for the opening for a hot mat.

I posted this a while ago. I just made the square with extra batting and put overlapping flaps on the back. I then inserted those rubberlike potholders in them. I used the Cotton method.
