Table topper and 3 place mats
I used some more of the strips I had cut for my baby quilt to make a table topper and place mats.
The table topper or center piece is 14 inches square – the strips range from 1.5 – 3 inches, notice I pieced some of the strips. This is just a basic log cabin that started with a 2.5 inch square.
For my place mats I cut some 1.5 x 2.5 pieces and sewed them into 2 strips about 12 inches long.
I then added each strip to a piece of fabric that was 12 x 14 inches.
Everything is from my stash; when the grand-kids and I made pillows last week I had pulled out some old polyester batting for them and I decided to use more of it for the place-mats. I used a template to mark the design that I quilted in the center.
Finished size is 12 x 17 approximately
his photo shows the stipple quilting better, sorry for the crease mark in the center.
Here is a close-up.
Did you happen to notice that I only made 3 place mats? Most of the time it is just my dad, Builder Bob and me so this works perfectly.

I love the quilting – it is stunning! I have been wanting to make place mats but I just haven't sat down and done it yet!
Super idea. Love the simplicity of your placemats, but the quilting really makes them sing! I have a ton of little itty bits of scraps and can't seem to throw them away… now i know they can have a "home" in some placemats. Thank you for sharing such a brilliant idea!
What a neat idea. I'll have to make some of those.
I do not have the internet and I am very sorry that I can not go to your blog often.You have a very interesting blog and very interesting product.
You are a wonderful quilter. These are beautiful!
Cool place mats! I have three for us too. One for me and my husband and one for Uncle Jim! He comes up for coffee and breakfast on the weekends. That's all I made too!

What a great way to liven up your table. I love that everything came from scraps and your stash. Using the stencil to quilt the center gives a nice affect.
Hi!Connie, beautiful placemats for the 3 of you.I just love your quilting stencil and stippling Hope I get that clever one day!!
Always have loved a peach and blue combo. Very nicely done- especially the central quilting. It also gives such a sense of satisfaction to know it came from stash only, too!
what a lovely set Connie,well done.xx
I love the quilting you did on them.
Beautiful!
Wonderful placemats and a great way to highlight your quilting. I really need to make myself a new set and I like your pattern.
I love that design you quilted in the center. Hmmmm….wonder if I could manage that? Stippling has never worked for me.
