I finally finished all of the four placemats. I have been working on these for awhile and have photos on instagram from weeks ago when I started these.
I had four blocks I was going to use for a "traffic jam" quilt...a free pattern by Pat Sloan.
I changed my mind and decided to make placemats instead and use the batik squares for making scrappycrossroads blocks.
I put Pat Sloan's Eat Your Fruits 'n Veggies fabric on the sides of the traffic jam blocks to make them placemat size.
Then I did some applique, quilting and have slowly been working on finishing them.
Earlier this week I was looking for something that I could just sew. I had the walking foot on my machine and had some batting pieces trimmed from a previous quilt. I had some 1½" strips left from another project I am working on.....so let's sew!
Here are the strips sewn to the batting pieces before I cut them apart.
I used a narrow batting piece as a leader and ender to sew the other three!
Here they are finished and at different sizes depending on the batting strips!!
And here are the backs. I guess they will be bookmarks!
Smiles and hugs....Caryl
I am linking to finish it Friday and Link a Finish Friday
