This week I finally decided to shift from working on my guild's baby quilt charity requests and do a couple of personal projects and finishes.
I finished my Rosemary and Thyme quilt top. Those last 3 missing blocks were a real chore for me for some reason, but I finally pulled myself together and got them done. Now just to do a back up and off to the quilter.This delightful little one is our Yorkshire Terrier Zoey, and she likes her breakfast and snacks on a placemat. Her old ones have been wash thousands of times and were looking pretty worn out, so I happened to find this fabric given to me in a bundle of scraps. Just enough to make two new placemats for her. While digging out all my fabrics in order to finish the last 3 blocks of the Rosemary and Thyme quilt top along with some other this and that fabric scraps I ran across this scrappy placemat pattern. We use placemats on a regular basis for our meals so placements for the various seasons are regular table settings for us. This pattern however takes scrap quilting to a new height. I always make four so this little project consisted of (224) 2" blocks, (8) 2" by 2.5" blocks, (4) 1" by 2" blocks, and (8) magic corners from 1.5" cuts. I have taken scrap quilting to a new dimension. I made the four pumpkin sections first and at that point of was just hooked. Cannot wait until late September or early October to start using them.
