These did not start out to be placemats......
to make these I used the easy triangle tool I had purchased and used in 2012 and then forgot about it!!
Several weeks ago I decided to use some charm squares of Pat Sloan's Hometown Girl to make a mat.
This photo is the second one I finished this past week after I decided these would be placemats. The size is a little different than my others....16 ½" x 8½".
I blogged about a runner I made with this tool in 2012 and it is http://carylquilts.blogspot.com/2012/12/christmas-hst-runner.html and there is a link on that blog post to the September 2012 blog post where I show the ruler. Designed by Wendy Mathson.
This ruler is called fast2mark easy triangle tool You mark on the lines and SEW on the lines. AND no need to square up afterwards!

Next I am going to tell about something I usually don't do..........decide to quit on making a quilt that I have started!! But I decided to quit making the Regatta quilt that I started in January. It was with a sew along with Home Sewn by Us. I have photos I took this week of what I had done so far. I had half of them in the strip sets with the light strips. I have them draped on a long table ready to continue but I woke up yesterday and decided I have too many other things I am doing and I will use all of this fabric for other quilts.

Here is some really good peanut butter banana bread I have made serveral times now using a recipe on WW site and IG.....Kodiak cakes and Quest protein powder and it is low points. There are many versions of this recipe and might be called salted caramel banana bread if you are searching for it.
The WW lifestyle is all about choices and planning and tracking! This is not a diet and you can eat any food you choose as long as you track it.............and there are NOT lists of things not to eat like the old WW days!

I'm sorry to hear that you are abandoning your Regatta quilt. From the looks of it, it was going to be gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely use those strips in other quilts! It was the long strips that caused me to stop....I prefer smaller pieces.
