A birthday gift for my mama! Six pretty placemats, each a unique quilt of its own. I had such a good time designing these and arranging the scraps. I am also proud to say I didn't purchase anything but the red thread. I had bought some of the fabric for last year's gift (a fun valentine garland). At that time I was also thinking of making a table runner so I did buy a pretty big length of the heart and flower fabric that has both black and red in it. So when I decided on the placemats instead of the table runner I used that fabric for the backs.
The pattern is from the book Black & White, Bright & Bold: 24 Quilt Projects to Piece & Appliqué
by Kim Schaefer. It called for only black and white but you know me, always customizing things – I went with red + black & white instead. And of course I got the book from the library! Hee.
