If anyone needs a quick gift for the upcoming holidays, here is a link to a placemat pattern that you can make five different ways. I cut and pieced four of version two last night in a couple hours! For finishing, I'm going to use the "flip" method and then topstitch. Simple, but they look impressive! I actually bought the pattern and then saw it free on cyberspace.
