Happy Boxing Day! I have finally finished 3 table mats. Initially, I had 2 odd pieces of this christmas multi print - approx 12" x 20". I thought I would challenge myself to use it up right away and not let it creep back into the scrap boxes. I thought quarter square triangles (QST) would be fun. Ha! I made 40 QST blocks, then had to figure out what to do with them. I also had some binding already made up from another project from this print.
I got 2 placemats out of the pieces. Then I had 16 QST left-over. So I chose another print for the rectangle and put the remaining QST around that. This piece is about 25" long. I use quilted mats on end tables and dressers, backs of chairs........they are useful in so many places.
I'm glad to have this project finished. Now, I need to put away supplies so I can see my work tables again.
What will call to me next?
You're way ahead of the game for next year's Christmas projects, Kat. Great job.
ReplyDeleteLove the placemats and the table mat. Nice not to have to put the scraps in the scrap bin. I agree there are so many places those quilted mats come in handy! Great project to practice some FMQ ;)
ReplyDeleteKat, the mats are beautiful! I know you will enjoy using them.
ReplyDeleteI love your table mats. I'm glad they are finished and ready to go for next year.

Very pretty and useful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI love the table mats. The QST really make a nice frame. Aren't you clever getting a head start on next year. I haven't even finished the Christmas projects that were meant for this year.
