A mosaic quilt table mat? Wha?

And this is a table mat I made for David. It looks nice on his dark-wood dining table. The design is based on a quilt square. It's made of glass mosaic tiles with tiny accent squares of real gold, gold, gold. It's done on a piece of plywood, which I did not have to cut by hand. If I were to attempt a quilt square design again, I would put some sort of contrasting-colour border between the squares to delineate them and make them look more like individual squares, rather than a funny design that got out of control. But it looks very professional: nice grout job, good colours, red wine-repelling (very useful at David's house).
