I am not sure what pattern you are using, but maybe you should make quick and easy place mats. I made some using two fat quarters each. Use two coordinating prints, one for the top and one for the bottom, then they are reversible. cut them 14"x19" then sandwich, do some simple straight or diagonal line quilting with the walking foot, bind with another coordinating print, and done! They go together very quickly and look very nice. You can always add matching napkins.
Best of luck. :)
