    How many placemats to make?

    Have you ever given two placemats as a gift if it goes to a person who lives alone? Or do you always make a set of four?

    How do you sew on your quilt label? Do you machine stitch it on or hand stitch it on ? Do you sew it on the back before or after you FMQ?
