Hi Jill ~ I used this idea but did them without binding. They were so much fun to make! They don't look nearly as finished as yours but I used scrappy fabrics so it works :thumbup:
here is a link: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-137891-1.htm thank you so much for the idea!

All pics beautiful!! But eewww! don't like the birthing term! I've always known it as an envelope finish-gonna stick with that!

Homespun - that is mine :) I was the person who was looking for ideas and those are my finished project.
I sure got some great ideas from this orignal posting.

I love to use Jill's method though I sometimes sew on an angle. I think you you add a a 3/4 inch or thereabout border around it and even if you do birthing method it would look as if it were bound.

I make any 12 inch block I like. Then I add a one -two inch border all around the block. Then I add a pieced border on the outside on the sides of flying geese or something eye catching. The place mat ends up being (with 1 inch top/bottom and 1 +2 on the sides) 13 1/2 by 17, the size of most place mats. I sometimes use the same fabric or color for the 1 inch border for all 4 to coordinate. so here are the elements and you'll have to sort of use your imagination make the colors coordinate |
