Create a Pretty Heart Placemat in an Afternoon
| January 22, 2021 | Valentine and Heart Quilts
It Can Also be Used as a Trivet and More!
This pretty little heart is perfect for Valentine’s Day and other special occasions. Use it as a placemat, mug rug, trivet, or pot holder (add a layer of Insul-Bright batting for heat proofing).
Make one or more in traditional red, pink, and white. Or go with any color combination you enjoy, even one that matches your decor.
The center heart is made with easy paper piecing. Log cabin style borders finish it off. While it looks complex, you can make one or more in just a few hours.

The completed placemat, designed by Lisa Cox from A Spoonful of Sugar, is 11 ½ inches across from one point to the opposite point.
