Something different

2/21/2024

I spent most of the last 2 days running errands but I decided to divert from quilting veterans quilts for a minute to put together some placemat tops. I started with the fabrics that I got in Tucson. I used pretty much every inch of what I bought and made 2 sets of 4 placemats. I don't totally love them but they are placemats and they will bring back lots of good memories when I use them. I'll probably give one set to the friends that we visited there.

I need to make one more set of 6 from my nephew's wife. She wants grays so I picked these 2 fabrics from my stash. I'll add some black and put together something really simple. I want to get all these tops together so I can be ready to quilt all of them at once. I have one other set of tops ready to go too.

I think I have some good sewing/quilting time ahead of me so I hope to get 2 more veterans tops quilted and then get through all of the placemats done on the longarm next.

I like your AZ placemats. They show off those larger prints.

I probably need to make things like placemats to use up some of the fabric but somehow I never feel like making anything but quilts.

I really like your placemats! To be honest, I was thinking that I would have used a different binding, then I realized that they look like they are photographed on a rug (and don't have binding)! LOL. I love the B&W and gray fabrics, too.

I like the placemats but then I like busy prints used together.

The good thing about placemats is that they are not as time consuming as a quilt.

I must admit that I've never used placemats, at least not in recent memory anyway. I'd much rather wipe the table than wash placemats. Lazy, I know!
