It's a very easy pattern, it goes quick!!! But I never look at a watch..... I astimate perhaps one hour for one???? I just do the quilting with the machine and not by hand, that would last longer... And as I said before, I machine stitch the binding too: I sew it to the backside and stitch it from the front side, this method saves time!!!

Love your placemats. So nice that you made six, so they will have enough for guests.

Very colorful. Sometimes I use the "burp" method for placemats, however, when I put on a binding, I prefer to quilt first, then add the binding as you do.
