Placemats for my mum

[ss_storm]

When I visited my parents last weekend I noticed the placemats are getting a bit threadbare...I made them for mum when I was in high school so they are quite a few years old! Thought I might sew her some new ones for her b'day in September.

I got some material today and have ordered some cotton wadding just to make them a bit thicker, but not sure how to use the material....

I got two fabrics that I really like, one is an aqua/tan stripe pattern and the other is pink checks (I'll put some pics on FB, they look nicer than I've described!). But I only got 1m of the pink and 2m of the green, thinking I would just use the green and do something else with the pink, only now I can't pick between them and want to use both!

I thought about making them reversible, so one side green and the other side pink, but don't know if I would have enough of the pink material (I could go back and get more...but the store is in a town about 20ks away and I don't really want to drive there just to get another metre of fabric, and there is nothing else in the town! Lol).

Then I thought maybe I could just get some plain fabric to match the pink & green, so they would still be reversible but there would only be 3 of each colour, rather than having six with both colours. Do you think that would look ok or would it just be too mismatched?

Or I just use the green and forget about the pink altogether...
