I had a little free time today to quilt and bind these scrappy placemats.
I pieced these back in January-February area using red scrappy strings all different widths. And 2"x 4" finished flying geese units in gray, accented with black 1" finished black strips. Accuquilt 8" cube dies #4 and #5 for the geese and the 1.5" strip die for the black.
They would look festive for the holidays but could be used at any time of the year. I could see these in lots of color ways.
For the backing I used this fun Santa face fabric that I found in the stash.
Those are great! I love the combination of red and black. And perfect way to use up the string pieces, too! Nice finish!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful placemats! I just love the Santa fabric on the back. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE those!!!! They look so great with the B/W dishes too
ReplyDeleteThose are such cute placemats - with a surprise on the back. A row of flying geese seems to enhance just about anything.
ReplyDeleteThese are super cute! They would be good in my color way. I could see a whole rainbow with geese flying around the table.
ReplyDelete*in any color way
DeleteOh such fun those are! I like anything that can be made with scraps. You are so good at it, too.
ReplyDeletethese placemats are great! and perfect to make for my local Meals on Wheels...thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! Ooh, these are pretty. It seems like the 8" cube is a handy one. Someone else said is the die set they use the most. These turned out really cute. Maybe they're for you but I suspect they would sell well and quickly. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteOh! I'm glad you had some free time to play a little. Those placemats are very cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are so much fun! I have a leftover strip set to attend to next week...so you may see something that resembles that is a bit.
