Today I received a beautiful block from Girlscout, I will post pic later as my camera needs a charging. I also got F8 from areinn and marcialee. Yippie going to be making some blocks today!
Linda Brat, I made place mats out of the first boom I was in, I made 2 sets of 8 for both my sister in laws. I added 3.5 inches on each side and 1.5 on the top and bottom. The backing and binding was all from the same fabric. They really turned out very nice, I still have some of the blocks left. I think I have pictures of the ones I made... some where I will find it and show you. I am like Jaba we use place mats all the time, I even make place mats out of my sample FMQ training! My granddaughter said to me "?Grandma why is there such a knot of string on this one!" LOL out of the mouths of babe's... She is now 14 and is learning to sew. I am going to give her my old machine for when she makes her first quilt.
ok off to looking for matching fabric.
