Perfect for Quick and Easy Place Mats and More!

Simple place mats are a breeze to make with this ingenious method. Select a beautiful fabric for the center, or create a bit of patchwork, then choose a contrasting fabric for the outer edge.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
