Our study group topic was Quigley, so I decided to design an original pattern to weave placemats out of as a way to understand the structure better. The total number of ends is 372 plus floating selvedges and the width in reed was 15.5″. The placemats are hemmed with a rolled hem in such a manner that either side of the placemat may be used as the “right side”.
