Learning to quilt making placemats was fun!
When I took a beginner Quilting class , we made placemats as you see in my attached photos.
After we learned different blocks, we had to learn how to figure out the sashing sizes to complete the placemat. We learned how to make a quilt sandwich and get it ready to quilt. Yes, we quilted it in class, too. We made the binding as well. The goal was to finish one placemat, but have the skills to complete the rest, using our blocks we made in class. Some did just one mat, and others made more. Most went home with one completed mat and the rest had the tops pieced and ready to sandwich.
