Default March April Table Mat/Runner Fun!

Just checking in here to say hello and show you a little project I have been working on for my mother. She is 83. She has her own apartment adjacent to our house. Its really difficult to keep her on a healthy diet.....goes for the cookies and toast with jelly. So I took a short break from my quilting board projects to try a little experiment. Thinking about the table mat/runner swap lately, I decided to make her a table mat for her round kitchen table from a fat quarter and some stash. I used a 16 inch block pattern (Corner Star) and will add a lime green, small border and a 3 inch border of the sliced fruit shown here in the triangles. She loves it so far....and who could resist fruit after looking at this under their plate everyday! Just had to share this....ready to get started. I could see this same idea with spring flowers!
