Zig Zag Placemats

Zig Zag Placemats

I got another pair of placemats quilted today. I have 2 more sets to go before I can bind all of them.

When i make placemats I have learned to quilt then pretty densely. It makes them much easier to wash and iron. The ones that I have made with minimal quilting just don’t look as good after they’ve been washed a few times. This pair is made from some pre-cut HST blocks that I had in my stash. I had enough of the gray and back ones for just 2 placemats and I only had 2 dyed black napkins.

Today’s set is mostly purple. They are pinned together ready for stitching.
