I wanted to try the tube quilt method, so I took the block I made and turned it into a placemat for my FIL. I also wanted to try the glue basting I saw on here so I also did that . This is a "WANTED TO TRY " piece of work. lol..It's not perfect but he will love it! ( He lives alone and has a small table so one is all 1 needed)

A lot of my "want to try" projects end up as potholders!

Very nice colors.

It's really pretty, and a good idea for trying something new.
