Scraps to Seashells

I enjoyed the article "Table Scraps" in the April/May issue. I can't use the pattern, though, because the place mats are rectangular and my dining table is round. To match my dining room furniture, I created a shell-shaped place mat using the same piecing technique as in your article. I lined it with a solid complementary fabric and bound the edge with 1"-wide bias binding. The place mat shapes fit my round dining room table beautifully.
