Notes: 

I am completing mats for a guild exchange originally undertaken in 2008-2009. I will be weaving something like 14-15 placemats to complete the project for two different groups of 8 participants (16 total). I love Bertha Gray Hayes patterns because they are visually interesting, and fairly easy to weave. (At least this one was!) I am able to complete several mats in the course of a few hours after work!

The draft is: "Unnamed", page 179, Weaving Designs by Bertha Gray Hayes

The colors are lovely

The colors are lovely together and really complement the pattern.

Exchanged!

Each color is from a different participant, and the first six just happened to go together in an interesting way.

I think it's fun some participants chose unconventional colors, like orange. I'd say the most popular color was green and variations of it. I still have 7 more to weave off, so back to looms to me!

Green

Isn't green an up and coming "new" color for interiors?
