WOW everyones placemats are lovely.

Ahhhh, thank you Quiltbea and fishinwidow. I have several sets to make for the holidays and this pattern interested me for speed purposes.

I usually make my placemats 13 x 18", also, so that is how I will trim them. Added that note to the instructions I copied.

Thank you, thank you.

Everyone, your mats are really gorgeous.

Here are my placemats, I didn't square them up yet. Will do that after quilting!

Those are certainly cheery. Nice.

Anael,

I really like those bright colors.

Thank you! I'm now in the process of quilting them. I signed up for the FMQ class from Leah Day at Craftsy and this is a great project to practice

Everyone,

Don't forget to use a THIN batting in your placemats. Quilt as desired. Then use your favorite finishing technique - pillowcase method, bind, add border and bind, or use the "picture frame" method we learned last year during a PJ party.

I really wanted to join this party. I had my FQ's cut and was getting ready to join and DH decided it was time to process the deer DGS had gotten a week ago. So I spent the party time bagging ground deer to freeze. I have the instructions written down and I will try to make mine tonight.

I really got caught up in these placemats. I made similar ones for Gary and I last summer but I pieced them. This was sooooo much easier and quicker.

Got my tops done but gotta wait 'til the 'chine can get repaired before I can finish them. The cable connection for my camera to the computer decided to give up the ghost also; no way to show you what I did......unless......

I made some Mug Rugs with the same fabrics/pattern. Them I can scan on the printer and post here. So here's my matching mug rugs for my placemats. These were also a breeze to make. Finished they'll be 5 x 6. Good size for a cup and some cookies.

ETA: My apologies to whomever gets these posts as an email. I couldn't get the photos adjusted to where I wanted them.

Oh so pretty, I got mine all finished and quilted. I really like how easy they were to make. Thanks for the lesson.

Those mug rugs are great Paus4quilts!

I quilted my mats but still have to take a picture of them. Will do that later today and post it here. I used them as samplers for my Craftsy FMQ class

Here they are!

That looks good, Anael!!!!!

I am real excited about this pattern. So glad it was a PJ Party lesson and got a chance to learn it.
