I made these placemats for a neighborhood women gift exchange. We were supposed to bring something that was one of our favorite things. I love quilting and decorating with quilts, so these placemats were perfect.
They are made with the scraps from the two "Christmas with 3 Sisters" quilts. I started out by separating them into six sets. I had to add three 2.5 x 21 inch strips which were leftover from another project to make all six place mats.
I pieced the placemats, trimmed them to 12.5 x 18.5 inches, and then quilted them on the Bernina Q24. I used scrap batting and there was barely enough.
My friend who received these was so excited. She said they match the colors in her house perfectly.
I really need to make some placemats for my home sometime. However, I know once I start I will want to keep going until I have a set for every month!

Oh I bet she was thrilled all right! They are so festive. You could always just make ones that match the dishes you use most. Or just do the major holidays:)
