Placemats, using kaffe fasset fabric
How do you incorporate the bright, large pattern fabrics into placemats? Couldn't find any info on this subject, so I made up my own.
To make (2) - 14" x 18" Placemats, I used 1 yard focus fabric and 1/3 yard blender fabric. Cut (4) 2 1/2" strips of both fabrics. Sew, alternating strips. Cut crosswise into 2 1/2" strips. Resew into 7 columns by 9 squares, turning every other one upside down so they are interchanging fabrics.
Cut (4) 2 1/4" strips of focus fabric for the binding. Cut the remaining focus fabric in half, to use as the backing for both. Quilt according to your style. I quilted each row and column for a patchwork look.
Amazingly easy!
