<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That's how it happens, one request.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Someone asked where they could find the wool </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to give it a go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have written <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/578386753/marriage-plaid-or-memory-rug-printed?ref=shop_home_feat_3&frs=1">the pattern</a> for Cee, and others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have made my own version with Cee's wool.</span></div>

<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well it was time to get the dye pots out, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">start tearing through piles of wool </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and get to it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One request turned into batches</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> and batches</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(did I say batches?)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It went on </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and on.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And then the sun came out and I was ready to cut!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And cut I did. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So much cutting. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> because there is a laundry basket </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">full of leftovers </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">waiting</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for the process to start again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> One day </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> the lonely leftover wool will have</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">some string </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and other wool </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Quick lesson for a quick mat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Once you have your colours planned and
circles cut,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> this will stitch up quickly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are an Outlander fan...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I spied a mat on Brianna's table...that was my inspiration. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With large pennies this mat finishes
at a nice size of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> 15.5" side to side, or 18" point to point.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> My base
pennies are 37 x 2.5 inch, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with 7 x 2 inch, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and 30 x 1 inch</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> centered on
each 2.5" penny.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Review this photo for my planned use of </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">colour and
layout </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of the 2" and 1" pennies.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I used approximately 65 yards of #10 crochet
cotton.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Stitched on a very light fabric for the backing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At first I
thought it was too lightweight,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but then I really enjoyed working on it </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> and will likely use this weight again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did not line this mat to cover the backside hiding my stitches,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I simply turned
a 3/4" hem.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Making my Brown Diamonds Mat. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A quick run through.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6zWalW4IVoY/XmR1jgUboJI/AAAAAAAAF40/R0Xr33cOzY4TfPRTc0YbfWKpOP90ngdwgCEwYBhgL/s1600/88265878_133207651428235_7070293601246248960_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="881" data-original-width="1600" height="352" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6zWalW4IVoY/XmR1jgUboJI/AAAAAAAAF40/R0Xr33cOzY4TfPRTc0YbfWKpOP90ngdwgCEwYBhgL/s640/88265878_133207651428235_7070293601246248960_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I started stitching this one on the diagonal... and then I struggled.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I realized I much prefer to stitch in straight nested lines.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I pulled off all my diagonal tape (not seen here)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and reset my tape from left to right. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I like to lay out the pattern, tape my rows and number them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If tape isn't your thing, you can baste the rows without attaching them, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">or you can string your stacks together and set aside.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I just like to avoid pinning it all down. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can see a few staggered</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">stacks that were part of my diagonal assembly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I lift away each row and safely set them in a bowl.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I stitch one row at a time, stitching one stack at a time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v6HJBXWo0Yg/XmSC5bPPemI/AAAAAAAAF5c/Eafg4NT_yiUh7WraR81QVKs7EKJHiEOXwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/88126086_189840882309296_3073985403158528_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="466" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v6HJBXWo0Yg/XmSC5bPPemI/AAAAAAAAF5c/Eafg4NT_yiUh7WraR81QVKs7EKJHiEOXwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/88126086_189840882309296_3073985403158528_n.jpg" width="310" /></a></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really enjoyed stitching this mat,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was fun to do a reversed blanket stitch </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I stitch I tend to use just one or two </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">small applique pins as I travel along the mat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This keeps my thread from tangling in pins, mitigates pokes,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and allows me to adjust the stacks as I go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am always adjusting and checking alignment as I go.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can also make light pencil or graphite lines.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For beginners it can be very helpful. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wool is so nice to work with, it's so forgiving, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you can snug and adjust it easily.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My method is to attach the small penny</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> and then attach the stack to the rug.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you prefer to do it the other way around, that's fine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You could stitch all the large pennies down </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and then go back and do the top ones. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's up to you. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Working my way row by row,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">adjusting and nesting each penny.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The trick is to get that first row nice and straight.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can you notice that I pressed and folded </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my base fabric to create a line to follow. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Look closely at the top of the top row.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On my other tutorials </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you may see me stitching a basting line as a guide.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can do either, or both. </span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At this point I decided I really wanted the brown diamonds</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to have points. These interrupt the red border.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I removed the red pennies and replaced them with brown. </span> </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All stacks complete. Now to trim away the base fabric.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's so quick to mask off the edges with 1" wide masking tape.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a perfect width for me to stitch on a planned border and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">have not too much excess to trim away. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Remove the tape after you cut away the fabric beyond it. </span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
( At this stage you could trim the mat, as I will go on to show, or.... fold in the edges to finish, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or create a lining for the entire mat. I have shown those methods in other tutorials.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To trim this mat I cut strips of a lightweight brown wool blend</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">into two long 1.5" strips and joined them with a bias.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To create a binding strip you fold it into half and press,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">then fold each long side to meet into the center, and press.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Binding can be a lesson of it's own, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you can find it on my Plaid Tongue Rug Tutorial.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Or it might be more clear as you look at the photos that follow. </span></div>
