Pretty and Practical Patio Place Mats

Add a Bit of Patchwork to Fancy These Up!
We fell in love with these place mats because they solve that annoying problem of paper plates taking flight in the breeze. Instead, tuck the plates, napkins, and silverware into the pockets in these clever place mats.
Voila! Set the patio table and everything stays put until it’s time to eat.
Rectangles of your favorite fabrics will stitch up quickly into these mats. If you’re inclined, you can go a step further and decorate the pockets with orphan quilt blocks or even a strip of patchwork. They’re so quick and easy to make that you’ll hardly notice a bit of extra time to make them uniquely yours.
The finished placemats, designed by Heidi Staples of Fabric Mutt, are about 12″ x 15″ once completed.
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!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
