Quilted Kitchen Mat

I found this idea while searching for a quilt pattern to make a new quilt for my bed. It wasn't much work and I really like how it turned out.

The hardest part was lining up the stripes. I figured out that a quilters foot for your sewing machine will pull through the top and the bottom materials at the same time. Whereas a regular foot only pulls the material from the bottom. Just a thought but it made my stripes line up really well.

Now, just to find that quilt pattern I was looking for. . .
