I can hardly wait to see your pig placemats!

I've used a locking stitch on my machine in place of using cord to tie a quilt. It was a cat's quilt and I didn't want any string they could chew on and swallow. It worked and has held through many washings.

Here is a link that might be useful: Binding odd angles

Thanks Lois! That is pretty much what I did (without the pins and red dots).
I just found it difficult to get a nice mitre on the back. I will bookmark that site and refer to it again.
One of our Church workers collects all things pig. When I saw this fabric and there was only a FQ left, I had to get it. Since she is a single lady, one mat will do it for her.
And here is the finished mat.

Teresa, she will love it and it will bring a smile to her face each time she uses it. It makes me smile!

Those Piggies are adorable!! The design of the place mat is perfect to showcase the fabric - she is sure to love it!
I'm no help on the binding-it looks good to me!
Cute-cute-cute!!!!

Adorable. A very thoughtful gift.

It's very cute, Theresa, and your corners look great. She will love it.

No help on the binding from me either....but the placemat is adorable. My sister was once commissioned to make big adult bibs for a little BBQ place once, she used that same fabric and they were a hit!

Your friend will be thrilled! Great job and nice miters.
I like that pattern for the placemat, will have to try and remember it. TFS.

That is just Too Cute...,she will love it!
