Make a Quick Set of Place Mats with QAYG
Perfect for Using Up Scraps!
Choose a nice combination of leftover strips of fabric from your stash for an easy set of place mats. Fat quarters and 1/4 yard cuts work too. Make all the place mats the same or vary fabric placement so each one is a bit different.
They look great in any pleasing color combination. Choose fabrics that match your decor or make a set in seasonal colors.
Quilt-as-you-go makes them so quick and easy to make. They’re almost addictive. Good thing, as a set will be a wonderful gift for someone special.
The designer, Patricia at My Patchwork Quilt, went on and made hot pads using the same technique. Just start with smaller background pieces to make your own.
Once completed, the place mats are about 17 1/2″ x 13 1/2″.
