Hi all. I got the idea for these from Quilter Girl's Valentine ones here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-36657-1.htm.

I made seven, they're to sell at a craft fair I'm doing at the end of November. Good practice for mitred corners - there were 42 in total! :lol:

Very nice!

oh love those!! do you make just christmas ones or do you make others for the craft fair?

I woluld love to enlarge these to make a table topper for my round table!

Lovely festive mats - a sure seller K.

Beautiful!

I just made these Christmasy ones as the craft fair is intended for ppl to buy Christmas pressies. I guess you could make them for any season or just all year round ones, by chosing different fabrics. They're easy peasy - you could make them bigger simply by cutting bigger strips. :-D

if they are for christmas presents - i would offer some animal ones - cats & kitties are always great sellers for me (just a thought) - do you mind if I pm you about them?

No problem! All suggestions gratefully received - I am completely new to the craft fair game! :-D

very pretty!

Very pretty! I like that they could also be used for a small table mat or candle mat. With other fabrics they would be nice any time of year. Thinking red,white and blue for July!!

Here's a link to the instructions http://lovelaughquilt.blogspot.com/2...y-hexagon.html

Thanks for sharing.

Hello k3n,
You do such nice work. I love these.

Thanks for the pictures. They are great. Not long after I started quilting, probably about 1990 i made so many placemats using that method, I had sent them to Florida, Colorado, Wyoming, Ohio, and Arizona. They are fun to make and addicitive. One variation I came up with was to use two fabrics, USing the same fabric on each side of a wider center piece. That way I had a continous ring of fabric. rather than the spider web look. Have fun making them, and I hope you do well at the craft fair

beautifull

These look really great!

Thanks everyone - hi Red! :D

This would be a great idea for animal themed ones. Also I've got some chicken fabric and I might make some with that - I live in a farming area and chickens always go down well! :-D

They're beautiful! How much would people pay for one at a craft fair in the USA?

Very pretty and colorful. Good luck at the craft show.

I can't open the tut or pattern resource. WAH!!!!

Beautiful! I'd be afraid to use them as my family is too messy!

No idea! Here in England, I'm asking £7.50 which is about $12 I think. :-D

Pretty

I'm sorry - I checked the link and it worked for me. Maybe try again? Here http://lovelaughquilt.blogspot.com/2...y-hexagon.html

Wow very pretty. I love Christmas and everything that goes with it.

Very neat! Thanks so much for the pictures and the link to the tute.

So pretty! :thumbup:

BEAUTIFUL! Are these table topper size or placemat size?

FYI - I tried to go to the tute but got the message it is not available

Beautiful

Thanks a bunch for the site. I have not made a table topper and this looks like one that should not be too hard.These are so cute.

With four x 2 1/2" strips, these finish at 16" across from straight edge to straight edge. Vary the strip widths to get the size you want. :-D

I'm sorry you're having trouble, it works for me. Briefly, you sew four strips of 2 1/2" wide and the width of fabric together then cut this panel into six x 60 deg triangles, using the 60 deg line on your ruler. Then you sew these triangles together in sets of six, alternating the fabric placements. If you sew first into two sets of three then join the two halves, there are no set in seams to worry about. Sandwich, quilt (I just SITD across the seams between the triangles) and bind. :-D

Your table mats are so pretty and cheerful! I wish I had one or two for myself!

Very pretty!!

Awesome! These are sure to sell very well :D:D:D

They are gorgeous!! :thumbup: :D
