Using FQ's and to make 4 placemats you will need 1 FQ for the red part, 1 FQ for the light part, 2 FQ's for the green part, and 2 FQ's for the floral, plus a FQ for each backing and then 1/2 yard for the binding. Then follow the cutting instructions for 4 placemats with Fabric A being the red, Fab B is the light, Fab C is the green and Fab D is the floral. Hope this helps. Someone else may have a better way to do this but you stated you are using FQ's and can get more. You will need 4 different fabrics, not just 3.
