I have a quick and easy quilt tutorial to share with you today for some cute and happy placemats! I think you will really enjoy this tutorial!
I don’t know about you, but we always use place mats on our table all the time and these are perfect for summer or change the colors and make them for Christmas, Halloween or any other time of the year.
I used a fat quarter bundle of Marblehead Pleasing Pastels by Ro Gregg for Fabri-Quilt for my summer place mats and will also be sharing a matching table topper made with the same fabrics.
Here is a better look at all the beautiful fabrics, there are 17 fat quarters! I really like the marbleized look and the fabrics work perfectly as blends with other quilt fabrics.
I picked six different fat quarters to use to make 4 placemats.
Cutting:
Cut the six fat quarters into 2 1/2″ strips. For each placemat you will use:
- 24 – 2 1/2 inch x 2 1/2 inch squares
- 12 – 2 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch rectangles
Sewing:
-
- Use a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
- Mix and match the different colors of blocks.
- Sew 2 of the 2½” x 2½” squares and 1 – 2½” x 4½”rectangle together.
- Each section will measure 4½” x 4½”.
- Make 12 blocks for each place mat.
Arrange the blocks in a pleasing design. Hopefully you won’t have two of the same color touching. After I took this photo I started piecing and realized the bottom left block needed to be turned again.
Sew 4 rows of 3 blocks or…….3 rows of 4 blocks, I have no idea why I sewed them this way!
Then sew the rows together. Your place-mat will measure 12½” x 16½”.
Add your backing and batting and quilt as desired. Make your binding with the leftover 2 1/2 inch strips.
They look great out on our deck.
They also look great in the kitchen. The size of each one is approximately 12″ x 16″.
We now have four beautiful happy placemats to use on our deck or in the kitchen.

July 19, 2015 at 9:42 pmHi there Connie,
We don't use place mats…we don't even sit at the table!!! Our kitchen table is constantly covered by whatever quilty project I am working on, so we sit in the living room! we do use table runners on the coffee table!
Thanks!

July 17, 2015 at 12:08 amI seldom use placemats because my table is always covered with my cutting mat, rulers and fabrics. But, every so often if only for a day or special occasion I do clear it off and set the table with placemats, dishes and a centerpiece. I have always thought table settings can be beautiful. Thank you for the chance to win these gorgeous fabrics! Have a wonderful day.

July 16, 2015 at 2:33 pmI do not use placemats on my table. Frequently my table is covered in papers, art projects, whatever has been plopped there. We tend to eat at the kitchen bar. In my ideal world, my table would be all cute and "dressed" appropriately. 😉

July 16, 2015 at 2:16 pmThank you Connie for the pm tutorial and the fabrics you used sure are pretty, as I told them on their site. I don't use placemats but know people who do and I can see a set being made for them soon, thanks to you. Have a great day.

July 16, 2015 at 2:15 pmI love using placemats for special occasions, or when I just feel like dressing up the table a bit. And I always use placemats outside on the patio. My favorite are my Christmas placemats. However, I don't have summer placemats (I should really do something about that) and this bundle would work up well for that!
txquilter
July 16, 2015 at 1:54 pmYes we do when we eat at the table! We usually eat in front of the TV.
Marjorie Nath
July 16, 2015 at 1:40 pmWe use to use placemats quite often, but since we moved to Mexico, I haven't found the box that they are in (if it even made it down here) So I should really make some new ones.

July 16, 2015 at 12:20 pmHi Connie…..Since there are just the 2 of us, I only use placemats when we have company, but I make them for our children and married grandchildren, who do use placemats on a daily basis. The fabrics are so pretty on their own, but would blend nicely with patterned prints as well. [email protected]

July 15, 2015 at 9:29 pmVery pretty placemats Connie. I really like the quilting you've done to them and think I might even be able to handle that. I sure wouldn't guarantee straight lines like yours though. haha
I always used to have placemats on my table until I moved to this house years ago. The kitchen is SO tiny; well, not really tiny, but the layout is very bad so the only table we can have in there is only about 4 feet long. The placemats are practically stacked over each other on that tiny table so a runner is about the best I can do. When the holidays come and we have the kids coming over though, we set up a banquet sized table in the living room, and yea that takes up my entire living room sadly, but for the holidays I either use a tablecloth, or placemats. The placemats I had though were very old so I got rid of them. I need to make more of them. Gee, maybe since our dining table is in the living room with the Christmas tree, maybe I should make the placemats match a Christmas tree skirt which I very much need as well. LOL

July 15, 2015 at 8:14 pmWe do not normally use placemats, but I often make them to give as gifts because many of my family members use them. I'm thinking maybe we should start using them just because they are super cute.
