What a pain in the butt, too. After running into way more problems that I ever could have imagined and coming up with four or five different ways to make the dumb things, I finally got them all figured out and can now make one in about an hour or less depending on which TV show I'm engrossed in. Who knew pre-quilted fabric could cause so much trouble? At the end of the day, the place mats turned out beautifully.
Then, to top it off, I forgot to take pictures of the silly things before I took them to their new home. Lucky, I have a fantastic mother-in-law who took a few minutes and made me some nice pictures so I could show those things off!
They've already been used, washed, and dried with no shrinkage and no need for ironing. Perfect!

And since I had some extra scraps from cutting out the pre-quilted ovals, I made a little extra something just for fun. A reversible bowl!

Now, onto the second set in a beautiful, serene blue!
