This wool penny mat from Primitive Gatherings was purchased and started on last year's trip to the International Quilt Festival in Cincinnati. See the X in the center of the smaller squares? While sewing on the plane, the ride was so rough my pieces were bouncing around so I tacked them down in place until I could get the buttonhole stitching done. I actually like that big X as a design feature too, and may leave it in. This is a pretty small mat, only about 12 inches across. Aren't all the plaid wools great? See more design walls on Judy's Patchwork Times.

Really cute wools! I'm impressed that you could sew at all on a bouncy plane :-)
I like the X's also, they look nice. Good job sewing on the plane!!
Very pretty...love those primitive gathering patterns!
I bet working with wool feels divine too. It's very pretty.
I cant believe it's the middle of May already either. Im not sure where 2012 is going. Did we skip April?
Very pretty. I like the X's too.
Sweet number!
I really love this, never have seen a penny rug with squares. Very cute, and I like the x's too.
Very smart to tack the squares down with an X. I love the colors and the fabrics. I have a small wool candle mat that I bought a year ago and just haven't gotten to it yet. This inspires me!
Love the wool penny rug and the X's -- I think they add a nice element to the piece!
No one can accuse you of staying in a rut and always doing the same ole thing. I never know what your next project will be. This one is charming, and those big X's really do look like a planned design.
Nice stitching on a pretty, folksy project.
I wish I hadn't given away all of my wool scraps.
This is adorable....
